Q. Find p using Landry's Method.6(p+p+11)=16266(p+p+11)=6162
Combine Like Terms: Simplify the equation inside the parentheses.We have the equation 6(p+p+11)=162. First, we combine like terms inside the parentheses.p+p=2pSo the equation becomes 6(2p+11)=162.
Divide by 6: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the term with the variable p.66(2p+11)=6162This simplifies to:2p+11=27
Subtract 11: Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to solve for 2p.2p+11−11=27−11This simplifies to:2p=16
Divide by 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for p.22p=216This simplifies to:p=8
