Question

Find an answer to match the equation:8p+5=-6p+1A.3B.-10C.60D.4E.20F.38G.-2/7H.-10.4I.0

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Given 8p+5=-6p+1} \\ \end{gathered}`

The first thing we need to do is collect like terms; move all the terms in p to one side of the equation and move the rest to the other side of the equation;

`\begin{gathered} 8p+6p=1-5 \\ 14p=-4 \end{gathered}`

We'll now divide both sides of the equation by 14, which will give us the below;

`\begin{gathered} (14p)/(14)=(-4)/(14) \\ \\ p=(-2)/(7) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the correct answer is option G which is -2/7 as seen in our answer.
