Question

Solve the equation 6p = 2(5 - 2p).

Answer 1

p=1

Explanation:

6p=2(5-2p)

6p=10-4p

Add 4p on both sides

10p=10

Divide 10 on both sides

p=1

Answer 2

Hello!

Let's solve:

`6p=2(5-2p)\\\\\text{Multiply 2 into the function in the parentheses}6p=10-4p\\\\\text{Add '4p to both sides}\\6p+4p=10-4p+4p\\10p=10\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 10}\\(10p)/(10) =(10)/(10) \\p=1`

Hope that helps!
