Question

Use properties to rewrite the given equation. Which equations have the same solution as 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p? Select two options. 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.4p – 4 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4 230p – 1010 = 650p – 400 – p 23p – 101 = 65p – 40 – p 2.3p – 14.1 = 6.4p – 4

Answer 1

See explanation below.

Explanation:

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p?

2.3p -6.5p + 0.01p= – 4 + 10.1

-4.19p = 6.1 [Combine like terms and moved from one side to the other]

p = -1.456

Select two options.

The options seem to run together. Where does one equation stop and the other begin?

Are these the equation options?

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.4p – 4

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4

230p – 1010 = 650p

– 400 – p 23p – 101 = 65p – 40

– p 2.3p – 14.1 = 6.4p – 4

These don't look correct. Please review the derivation of p=-1.456 and find the option(s) that provide the same result.
