Answer:


  • \boxed{\sf{3p=5}}

Explanation:

To find:

  • The value of p

Given:

  • 7p + 4 = −p + 9 + 2p + 3p


\sf{7p+4=-p+9+2p+3p}

Isolate the term of p, from one side of the equation.

Combine like terms.


\rightarrow \sf{7p+4=-p+2p+3p+9}

Add the numbers from left to right.

-p+2p+3p=4p

7p+4=4p+9

Then, you subtract by 4 from both sides.


\sf{7p+4-4=4p+9-4}

Solve.

7p=4p+5

Subtract by 4p from both sides.

7p-4p=4p+5-4p

Solve.


\boxed{\sf{3p=5}}

Divide by 3 from both sides.

3p/3=5/3

Solve.

p=5/3

Divide is another option.

5/3=1.6666

So, the final answer is 3p=5.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
