Question

8-3(p-5)=-2p Solve each equation. Some are Identity or No Solution Equations.

Answer 1

`p=23`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`8-3(p-5)=-2p`

Distribute the -3 on the left:

`8-3p+15=-2p`

Add 3p to both sides:

`8+15=p`

Add on the left:

`23=p`

So, the value of p is 23.

And we're done!
