Question

What is the value of p ln the linear equation 24p+12-18p=10+2p-6

Answer 1

p = -2

Explanation:

24p+12-18p=10+2p-6

First step is to combine like terms

6p +12 = 2p+4

Subtract 2p from each side

6p-2p +12 = 2p-2p+4

4p+12 = 4

Subtract 12 to each side

4p-12+12 = 4-12

4p = -8

Divide each side by 4

4p/4 = -8/4

p = -2
