Solution
9 is subtracted from the product of p and 4, the result is 11. The value of p is 5.
Explanation:
Given, 9 is subtracted from the product of p and 4.
Then, 4p – 9 = 11
⇒ 4p = 11 + 9 ...[Transposing –9 to RHS]
⇒ 4p = 20
⇒ `(4p)/4 = 20/4` ...[Dividing both sides by 4]
∴ p = 5
Hence, the value of p is 5.
