Question

1. Solve for p in: -2(3p-6)+4(5p-8)=2(2p+3)+4

Answer 1

p = 3

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find what p equals, we must first simply the equation to the most, then solve

SIMPLIFY

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-2 (3p - 6) + 4(5p - 8) = 2(2p + 3) + 4

-6p + 12 + 20p - 32 = 4p + 6 + 4

Now that we expanded the equation, we can combine all like terms

14p - 20 = 4p + 10

10p = 30

Now that we simplified the equation to the most, now we solve the equation

SOLVE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10p = 30

p = 30/10

p = 3/1

p = 3
