Question
Solve the following equations :
$17 p-2=49$
✓
Answer
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text {} 17 p-2=49 \\
& \therefore 17 p-2+2=49+2
\end{aligned}
$
...[Adding 2 on both the sides]
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore 17 p=51 \\
& \left.\therefore \frac{17 p}{17}=\frac{51}{17} \ldots \text {..[Dividing both the sides by } 17\right] \\
& p=3
\end{aligned}
