Question

I need major help with number 5. Please show the work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

p-1=5p+3p-8

7=7p

p=1

Answer 2

p = 1

Explanation:

`p-1 = 5p + 3p - 8`

combine like terms on the right side

`p - 1 = 8p - 8`

subtract 8p from both sides

`-7p - 1 = -8`

add 1 to both sides

`-7p = -7`

divide both sides by -7

`p = 1`
