Question

When $19$ is subtracted from the product of $p$ and $4$, the result is $17$.

Then, the value of $p$ is

• A. $\frac{-1}{9}$
• B. $\frac{1}{9}$
• C. $-9$
• D. $9$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $9$

According to the question, $4p-19=17$
Adding $19$ to both sides we get,
$⟹4p=17+19$
$⟹4p=36$

$⟹p=\frac{36}{4}$ ...(Divide by $4$ on both sides)

$\therefore p=9$

So, option D is correct.
