Answer:
p = 15/x
x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first problem, we can expand the equation to 4px+4=64
then simplify it to:
4px=60
then divide 4x from both sides of the equation
p=60/4x
then simplify:
p=15/x
For the second problem:
plug in -5 for p so the equation would look like
4(-5x +1)=64
simplify
-20x=60
x= -3
