Question

What value of P makes the equation true

-3p+1/8= -1/4​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

-3p + 1/8 = -1/4

Simplify it to get the value of"p".

`- 3p + (1)/(8) = - (1)/(4)`

`( - 24p + 1)/(8) = ( - 1)/(4)`

`4(- 24p + 1) = - 1 * 8`

`- 96p + 4 = - 8`

`- 96p = - 8 - 4`

`p = ( - 12)/( - 96)`

`p = ( 1)/(8)`

Therefore, p = 1/8.

Check:

-3*1/8 +1/8 = -1/4

-3/8+1/8= -1/4

-1/4 = -1/4

Therefore, the value of "p" must be (1/8) to satisfy the equation.

Hope it helps...
