Question

12.
Find whether p = 2 and p=3 are solutions for the equation
7 (p+2)=5 (p+4) ? Justify?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

7(p+2)=5(p+4)

By distributive law

The eqn becomes :

7p + 14 = 5p + 20

collecting like terms ;

7p - 5p = 20 - 14

=> 2p = 6 and

:- P = 3 ( dividing both sides by 2)

P= 3 is the only solution to the equation above and it satisfies the equation.
