Answer:

The equation is [tex]p*8=56[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The neighbors buy a number of packs (p) of hot dogs and each one has 8 hot dogs. To calculate the number of hot dogs resulting we have to multiply the packs (p) by the number of hot dogs in each pack (8), this is:

[tex]p*8=56[/tex]

Then to calculate p we have to clear it:

[tex]p=\frac{56}{8} =7[/tex]

The number of packs bought were 7.
