What value of p satisfies the equation 2 p + 275 = 325 ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. Subtracting 275 from both sides of the given equation yields 2 p = 50 . Dividing both sides of this equation by 2 yields p = 25 . Therefore, the value of p that satisfies the given equation is 25 . Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect. This is the value of p that satisfies the equation 2 + p + 275 = 325 , not 2 p + 275 = 325 . Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of p that satisfies the equation 2 p - 275 = 325 , not 2 p + 275 = 325 .
