Question

Which equations have the same solution as p−3=5?

Hint: There are 3 equations




3p=30
3 p is equal to 30

p+2=10
p plus 2 is equal to 10

p8=1
p over 8 is equal to 1

p+7=16
p plus 7 is equal to 16

4p=32

Answer 1

p + 2 = 10

`(p)/(8) =1`

4p = 32

Explanation:

p - 3 = 5

p - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3

p = 8

3p = 30

3p ÷ 3 = 30 ÷ 3

p = 10

10 ≠ 8

p + 2 = 10

p + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

p = 8

8 = 8

`(p)/(8) =1`

`8((p)/(8)) =8(1)`

8 = 8

p = 8

p + 7 = 16

p + 7 - 7 = 16 - 7

p = 9

9 ≠ 8

4p = 32

4p ÷ 4 = 32 ÷ 4

p = 8

8 = 8
