Question

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

Answer 1

Use distributive law

• a(b+c)=ab+ac

Now

LHS

• -3(2+4p)=-6-12p

RHS

• 2(2p-1)=4p-2

Equat

• -6-12p=4p-2
• -4=16p
• p=-1/4

Answer 2

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -3(2+4p)=2(2p-1)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -6-12p=4p-2`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -12p-4p=-2+6`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -16p=4`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto p=(-4)/(16)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto p=(-1)/(4)`
