Solve {l}{m/{(-16)}=1/4}{n=m}{o=n}{text{Solvefor}ptext{where}}{p=o}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { m / {(-16)} = \frac{1}{4} }\\ { n = m }\\ { o = n }\\ { \text{Solve for } p \text{ where} } \\ { p = o } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for m, n, o, p

$$p=-4$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Multiply both sides by -16.

$$m=\frac{1}{4}\left(-16\right)$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and -16 to get -4.

$$m=-4$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$n=-4$$

Consider the third equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$o=-4$$

Consider the fourth equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$p=-4$$

The system is now solved.

$$m=-4 n=-4 o=-4 p=-4$$
