Question

Determine which integer in the solution set will make the equation true.

4p + 12 = 16
S: {−1, 1, 3, 4}

−1
1
3
4

Answer 1

the answer is 1
4 x 1 = 4
4 + 12 + 16 so your answer is 1

Answer 2

The integer that will make the equation true is 4.

Explanation:

The integer that will make the equation true is 4.

Substituting 4 for p in the equation:

4(4) + 12 = 16

16 + 12 = 16

28 = 28

Since both sides of the equation are equal, the equation is true when p = 4.
