Answer:
1. p = -9
2. 4y + 16.
Explanation:
1.
First, let's simplify the right-hand side of the equation:
11 + 1/4 (12p+4) = 11 + 3p + 1
= 3p + 12
Next, let's simplify the left-hand side of the equation:
1/4p + 3/4 (p-8) = 1/4p + 3/4p - 6
= 1p - 6
Now we can set the left-hand side equal to the right-hand side:
3p + 12 = 1p - 6
Subtract 1p from both sides:
2p + 12 = -6
Subtract 12 from both sides:
2p = -18
Divide by 2:
p = -9
Therefore, the solution to the equation is p = -9.
2.
First, let's simplify the terms inside each of the parentheses:
5 + 1/3 (9y - 12) = 5 + 3y - 4
= 3y + 1
5/6 (y+ 18) = 5/6y + 15
Now we can combine the simplified terms:
3y + 1 + 5/6y + 15 + 1/6y
= 4y + 16
Therefore, the solution to the equation is 4y + 16.
