Question

-32=-4-7(3p-2)
how do i solve this problem

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Distribute -7(3p-2) = -21p + 14

-32= -4 - 21p -14

2. Combine like terms -4 +14 = 10

-32 = 10 - 21p

3. Subtract 10 from both sides -32 - 10 = -42, 10-10=0

-42 = -21p

4. Divide each side by -21, -42/-21= 2, -21/-21 =1p

1p=2

5. Solution

1p=2

Answer 2

Explanation:

-32= -4-7{3p-2}

-32= -4-21p-14

14-21p-4=-32

-4 -4

14-21p=-28

-14 -14

21p=42 p=2
