Solve 3(p+4.06)-7=12.41

$$3 ( p + 4.06 ) - 7 = 12.41$$

Solve for p

$$p=2.41$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by p+4.06.

$$3p+12.18-7=12.41$$

Subtract 7 from 12.18 to get 5.18.

$$3p+5.18=12.41$$

Subtract 5.18 from both sides.

$$3p=12.41-5.18$$

Subtract 5.18 from 12.41 to get 7.23.

$$3p=7.23$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$p=\frac{7.23}{3}$$

Expand \frac{7.23}{3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$p=\frac{723}{300}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{723}{300} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$p=\frac{241}{100}$$
