Question

$$1/2=P/4$$

Solve for P

$P=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $4$.

$$\frac{1}{2}\times 4=P$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ and $4$ to get $\frac{4}{2}$.

$$\frac{4}{2}=P$$

Divide $4$ by $2$ to get $2$.

$$2=P$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$P=2$$
