Answer: [tex]x=5(13-12p)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: [tex]x=65-60p[/tex]
[tex]\\\Rightarrowx=(5\times13)-(5\times12)p[/tex]
Since 5 is the greatest common factor of 65 and 60 in the given expression.
Therefore, the above expression can be written as
[tex]x=5(13-12p)[/tex]
Hence, by factoring the side that contains the variable p we have the expression [tex]x=5(13-12p)[/tex].
