Question

Solve the equation .

Answer 1

-12+18=p+7 6=p+7
7+6=13
P=13

Answer 2

Hence, the value of p is:

-1

Explanation:

We are asked to solve the given linear equation which is in terms of variable 'p' as:

`-12+18=p+7`

We will firstly solve the left hand side term.

i.e. we have:

`6=p+7`

Now on subtracting both side by 7 we have:

`6-7=p+7-7\\\\\\-1=p`

Hence, the solution of the linear equation is:

p= -1
