M<p=15
Solve using division property
To solve using the division property, you need to isolate the variable p by dividing both sides of the equation by 15:
M/p = 15/15
Simplifying, we get:
M/p = 1
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by p to solve for p:
(p)(M/p) = (p)(1)
M = p
Therefore, the solution for p is p = M.
To solve the equation using the division property, you need to isolate the variable 'M'.
The division property states that if two quantities are equal, then dividing both sides of the equation by the same non-zero number will not change the equality.
The equation is:
M < p = 15
To isolate 'M', you need to divide both sides of the equation by 'p':
M < p / p = 15 / p
Since 'p' is a non-zero number, dividing 'p' by 'p' gives you 1, and dividing '15' by 'p' gives you 15/p:
M < 1 = 15 / p
Therefore, the solution using the division property is:
M = 15 / p
