Question

Simplify 2p-9=3(2p-5)

Answer 1

Answer: It is 3/2 = p

Explanation:

1. 2p - 9 = 3(2p - 5)
2. 2p - 9 = 6p - 15
3. -9 = 4p -15
4. 6 = 4p
5. 3 = 2p
6. 3/2 = p

Answer 2

6/4 or 3/2

Explanation:

To this problem, we need to use the distributive property, and we also need to combine like terms.

2p-9=3(2p-5)

2p-9=6p-15

Subtract 2p on both sides

-9=4p-15

Add 15 on both sides

6=4p

Now divide 4 on both sides

6/4 or 3/2

I hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day!
