EXPLANATION

step 1. 3×p - 3×4 = 2×p + 2×1 ( brackets means × or multiplication )

step 2. 3p - 12 = 2p + 2 ( collect like terms )

step 3. -2p - 3p = 2 + 12 ( calculate the like terms and when we calculate them it would not be multiplication or division )

step 4. -1p = 14 ( answering look like this )

step 5. -1p/ 1 = 14/1 ( divided it by the number to get the variable )

step 6. p = 14 ( finally answer the question and check it all your calculate )

If you think you are brilant do not run for only the answer, but check up and understand it how it come.

Answer:

E

Explanation:


3(p - 4) = 2(p + 1)

Multiply every term inside the bracket by the term on the outside:


3p - 12 = 2p + 2

Collect like-terms (also, moving the term to the other side changes its sign to the opposite of the previous one):


p = 14
