The positive value of p from the equation is; p = 3
This is about absolute values.
- We are given the equation;
10 = 43 - |7p + 12|
- Let us simplify by subtracting 43 from both sides to leave the right hand side as an absolute value form.
10 - 43 = - |7p + 12|
-33 = - |7p + 12|
divide both sides by -1 to get;
33 = |7p + 12|
