p + 61 = 65 Which value is a solution to the given equation?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. Subtracting 61 from each side of the given equation yields p = 4 . By the definition of absolute value, if p = 4 , then p = 4 or p = - 4 . Of the given choices, 4 is a solution to the given equation. Choice A is incorrect. This is the quotient, not the difference, of 65 and 61 . Choice C is incorrect. This is the sum, not the difference, of 65 and 61 . Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
