Question

Solve the equation:

2p+5=3-p

3-2x = 8x-7

Answer 1

`2p + 5 = 3 - p\\2p + p + 5 = 3 - p + p\\3p + 5 = 3\\3p + 5 -5 =3 - 5\\3p = -2\\(3p)/(3) = -(2)/(3) \\\\p = -(2)/(3)`


`3-2x = 8x-7\\3 - 2x + 2x = 8x + 2x -7\\3 = 10x - 7\\3 + 7 =10x - 7 + 7\\10 = 10x\\(10)/(10) = (10x)/(10) \\\\x = 1`
