To solve the equation 16(p - 30) = 560, first distribute the 16 to both terms inside the parentheses:
16 * p - 16 * 30 = 560
This simplifies to:
16p - 480 = 560
Next, add 480 to both sides to isolate the term with p on one side of the equation:
16p - 480 + 480 = 560 + 480
This further simplifies to:
16p = 1040
Now, you need to solve for p by dividing both sides of the equation by 16:
16p / 16 = 1040 / 16
This gives you the value of p:
p = 65
So the solution to the equation is p = 65.
