Explanation:

2 votes

To do:

We need to simplify the distributive property in order to further simplify the equation and get the value of p.

Solution:

  • 2(p + 5) - 7 = 4p

[Simplify the distributive property]

  • => 2p + 10 - 7 = 4p

[Subtract 2p to both sides]

  • => (2p - 2p) + 10 - 7 = 4p - 2p
  • => 10 - 7 = 4p - 2p

[Simplify both sides of the equation]

  • => 3 = 2p

[Divide 2 both sides]

  • => 3/2 = 2p/2
  • => p = 3/2 = 1.5

Final Answer:

  • p = 1.5
