Question

3p − 5 = 10 what does p equal?

Answer 1

3(5p - 3) = 5(p - 1)

Distributive property.

15p - 9 = 5p - 5

Subtract 5p from both sides.

10p - 9 = -5

Add 9 to both sides.

10p = 4

Divide both sides by 10.

p = 0.4

The value of p is 0.4.

Answer 2

p =5

Explanation:

3p − 5 = 10

Add 5 to each side

3p-5+5 =10+5

3p = 15

Divide each side by 3

3p/3 = 15/3

p =5
