Question

What is 5p + 2 = 4p - 1

Answer 1

-13=-13

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, you get both variables on one side by subtracting 4p from both sides. You get p+2=-1. Then, you subtract 2 from both sides and you get p=-3. Then you plug in -3 to replace p and you find that it does work and both sides are. -13=-13
