Answer #1

the first time I worked the problem through I got 14. but I worked it out a second time and got 2.

Answer #2

wait is it p-2(5+8)/4=2 or p-2*5+8/4=2?

Answer #3

omg thank you guys sooo much : ) I SUCK at math…lol I might end up asking another question later haha…I have ONE math problem left but I got all weekend lol…maaan how can you people DO math? its CONFUSING!

Answer #4

that’s not what I got, but I may be wrong. p-2(5+8)/4=2 p-2(13)/4=2 p-26/4=2 p-6.5=2

add 6.5 to both sides (-6.5+6.5; 2+6.5) so p=8.5

*did it with order of operations

Answer #5

p=2

Answer #6

thats what I got yea your answer is 2 ha

Answer #7

You have to work backwards through the problem so…

2x4 = 8 8-8= 0 0/5 = 0 0+2 = 2 P = 2

So your answer is 2.

Answer #8

2/9 + 6/x
