Question

4(3-5p) = -5(3p – 4) step by step please

Answer 1

-1.6.

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`4(3-5p)=-5(3p-4)`

Distribute both sides:

`12-20p=-15p+20`

Add 15p to both sides. The right side will cancel:

`12-5p=20`

Subtract 12 from both sides:

`-5p=8`

Divide both sides by -5:

`p=-(8)/(5)`

Or -1.6.

And we're done!
