Question

I need help figuring out 121+2=9(-6-7P)+4P

Answer 1

Hi,


Work:


Equation;


`121 + 2 = 9( - 6 - 7p) + 4p`

First add up numbers and distribute 9 over parenthesis.


`123 = - 54 - 63p + 4p`

Second: collect like terms.


`123 = - 54 - 59p`

Move variable 59p to left side and change its sign.


`59p + 123 = - 54`

Then move constant 123 to right side and change its sign.


`59p = - 54 - 123`

Calculate the difference.


`59p = - 177`

Divide both sides of equation by 59.


`p = - 3`


Hope this helps.
