Question

3 + 2p - 4 = 11

algebra 1 solving equations

Answer 1

p = 6

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides.

3 + 2p − 4 = 11

3 + 2p + −4 = 11

(2p) + (3+−4) = 11 (Combine Like Terms)

2p + −1 = 11

2p − 1 = 11

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

2p − 1 + 1 = 11 + 1

2p = 12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2p/2 = 12/2

p=6

Answer 2
