Question

p = k 4 j + 9 The given equation relates the distinct positive numbers p , k , and j . Which equation correctly expresses 4 j + 9 in terms of p and k ?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. To express 4 j + 9 in terms of p and k , the given equation must be solved for 4 j + 9 . Since it's given that j is a positive number, 4 j + 9 is not equal to zero. Therefore, multiplying both sides of the given equation by 4 j + 9 yields the equivalent equation p 4 j + 9 = k . Since it's given that p is a positive number, p is not equal to zero. Therefore, dividing each side of the equation p 4 j + 9 = k by p yields the equivalent equation 4 j + 9 = k p . Choice B is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to p = 4 j + 9 k . Choice C is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to p = k - 4 j - 9 . Choice D is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to p = k 4 j + 9 .
