Answer:

D) n = 4p

Explanation:

18n - 7p - 15n = 5p

18n - 15n = 5p + 7p

Add like terms

3n = 12p

Divide both sides by 3

3n/3 = 12p/3

n = 4p

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

18n - 7p-15n = 5p

To solve for n first make n the subject

Group like terms

That's

18n - 15n = 5p + 7p

Simplify

3n = 12p

Divide both sides by 3 to make n stand alone

That's

3n/3 = 12p/3

We have the final answer as

n = 4p

Hope this helps you
