Question

How many solutions does the equation have 4p + 1 = 49 - 7

Answer 1

so one solution

Explanation:

4p+1=49 - 7

minus 1 to -7= -8

4p= 49-8

4p=41, divided by 4 and you'll get a decimal, 10.25

Answer 2

1 solution if solving for p.

Explanation:

If solving for p:

4p+1=49-7

4p+1=42

Subtract 1 from both sides

4p=41

Divide both sides by 4

p=10.25

There is only one solution, 10.25

But I've seen this question on a Quizizz and the answer was no solutions. I don't think that's correct but... might be because the question didn't ask to solve for p.
