Solve each equation or inequality (Show your work)

First Problem:

4(3p + 6 ) = 12

Second Problem:
-5(x -4) = -30

Third Problem:

-3m + 15 > -6

Answer 1

p = -1

x=10

m < 7

Explanation:

4(3p + 6 ) = 12

Distribute the 4

12p +24 = 12

Subtract 24 from each side

12p+24-24 = 12-24

12p = -12

Divide by 12

12p/12 = -12/12

p = -1

-5(x -4) = -30

Distribute the -5

-5x+20 = -30

Subtract 20 from each side

-5x+20-20 = -30-20

-5x=-50

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = -50/-5

x=10

-3m + 15 > -6

Subtract 15 from each side

-3m + 15-15 > -6-15

-3m >-21

Divide by -3 remember to flip the inequality

-3m/-3 < -21/-3

m < 7
