Question

Solve this equation. -4(p+2)+8=2(p-1)-7p+15

Answer 1

Hey there!

First we have to
`distribute`!


`-4 (p +2) = +8 = 2(p - 1) -7p + 15 \\ -4(p) + -4(2) + 8 = 2(p) +-2 + -7p + 15`

Now, we have to
`combine` our like terms


`-4p + (-8 + 8) = 2p + (-7p) + (-2) + 15`

Once we solve all the
`like-terms` we get


`-4p = 5p +13`

Now, we have to
`add`
`5p` to each of your sides


`-4p + 5p \\ = -5p + 13 + 5p`

Solve that part of the equation


`p= 13`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your assignment
