Back question 94 of 106 Next

Explanation

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 2p+275=325.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of p that satisfies the equation 2p-275=325, not 2p+275=325.
