Question

what statement is true about this equation -4(2p + 5) + 8p = -11 A. The equation has one solution, p = 2. B. The equation has one solution, p = -2 C. The equation has no solution. D. The equation has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

-4(2p + 5) + 8p = -11

-8p - 20 + 8p = -11

-8p + 8p = -11 + 20

-8p+8p will give you zero and our aim is to find the value of p. Since p has already be eliminated, there's no need going further. So my answer is C.

The equation has no solution.
