Question

What is the value of P? 10p + 5 = 18p–6/2 It's 18p - 6 over 2.

Answer 1

p = - 8

Explanation:

given

10p + 5 =
`(18p-6)/(2)`

multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

20p + 10 = 18p - 6 ( subtract 18p from both sides )

2p + 10 = - 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

2p = - 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

p = - 8
