Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline10p=(48p)\sqrt{\, -10p} = \sqrt{(\, 4 - 8p)}\newlinep=____p = \,\_\_\_\_
  1. Square both sides: Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square roots.\newline(10p)2=(48p)2(\sqrt{-10p})^2 = (\sqrt{4 - 8p})^2\newline10p=48p-10p = 4 - 8p
  2. Add pp terms: Add 8p8p to both sides to get all the pp terms on one side.\newline10p+8p=48p+8p-10p + 8p = 4 - 8p + 8p\newline2p=4-2p = 4
  3. Divide by 2-2: Divide both sides by 2-2 to solve for pp.2p2=42\frac{-2p}{-2} = \frac{4}{-2}p=2p = -2
