by: Karin

You would use the following steps to solve this equation.

Step 1: Get the variables on one side of the equation by subtracting 4p from both sides.


4p + 40 = 26p
4p-4p+40 = 26p - 4p

40 = 22p

Step 2: Divide by 22 on both sides in order to isolate the variable.

40/22 = 22p/22

p = 1.82

I hope this helps!
