Question

-3 + 2 (3 + p) = 13
P = ?

Answer 1

Answer:P=5

Explanation:

First you want to distribute 2 to 3 and p and make 6+2p

Secondly you want to add like terms so -3 and 6 to make 3

Third you to subtract 3 on both sides so it is 2p=10

Last you want to divide by 2 on both sides so 2p/2=10/2

P=5

Answer 2

p = 5

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -3 + 2(3 + p) = 13

Now the value of p will be,

→ -3 + 2(3 + p) = 13

→ -3 + 6 + 2p = 13

→ 3 + 2p = 13

→ 2p = 13 - 3

→ 2p = 10

→ p = 10/2

→ [ p = 5 ]

Hence, the value of p is 5.
