Question

-3 p + 1/8 equals -1/4 what is value of p

Answer 1

Explanation:

`- 3p + (1)/(8) = - (1)/(4) \\ \\ \therefore \: (1)/(8) + (1)/(4) = 3p \\ \\ \therefore \: (1)/(8) + (1 * 2)/(4 * 2) = 3p \\ \\ \therefore \: (1)/(8) + (2)/(8) = 3p \\ \\\therefore \: 3p = (1 + 2)/(8) \\ \\ \therefore \: 3p = (3)/(8) \\ \\ \therefore \: p = (3)/(8 * 3) \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: p = (1)/(8 )}} \\ \\`
