Question

$$1+5(P-1)=34$$

Solve for P

$P = \frac{38}{5} = 7\frac{3}{5} = 7.6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $P-1$.

$$1+5P-5=34$$

Subtract $5$ from $1$ to get $-4$.

$$-4+5P=34$$

Add $4$ to both sides.

$$5P=34+4$$

Add $34$ and $4$ to get $38$.

$$5P=38$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$P=\frac{38}{5}$$
