Question

Choose all the equations that have p = -(1/4) as the solution.A.) 3p + 2 = 5/4B.) 5p - 2 = 3/4 C.) 3p - 2 = 5/4 D.) 5p + 2 = 3/4

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the equations in the problem, we just need to replace each p-term by -1/4 in order to see if this is a solution to each equation:

A.) 3*(-1/4) +2 = 5/4 = 5/4 --------> p = -(1/4) is a solution of this equation. ✔✔

B.) 5*(-1/4) - 2 = -13/4 ≠ 3/4 -------> p = -(1/4) is NOT a solution of this equation.✘✘

C.) 3*(-1/4) -2 = -11/4 ≠ 5/4 -------> p = -(1/4) is NOT a solution of this equation.✘✘

D.) 5*(-1/4) +2 = -11/4 ≠ 5/4 -------> p = -(1/4) is NOT a solution of this equation.✘✘
