Question

P+4=5p+3p-10

can you help me show my work?

Answer 1

P+4=5p+3p-10

Rewrite

5p+3p-10=p+4

Add 5 to 3

8p-10=p+4

Add 10 both sides

8p=p+4+10

Add 4 and 10

8p=p+14

Subtract 1p on both sides

8p-p=14

8 subtract 7

7p=14

Divide 7 both sides

P=14/7

Solve

P= 2

To check substitute in original equation

2+4=5(2)+3(2)-10

6=10+6-10

6=6

It checks
