Answer:
[tex]p=11.2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given [tex]2.6(5.5p-12.4)=127.92[/tex], distribute to remove the parentheses:
[tex]2.6\cdot 5.5p-2.6\cdot 12.4=127.92[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]14.3p-32.24=127.92[/tex]
Add 32.24 to both sides:
[tex]14.3p=160.16[/tex]
Divide both sides by 14.3:
[tex]p=\frac{160.16}{14.3}=\boxed{11.2}[/tex]
