Question

1.
If 18 - 3p = 6p + 9, then p =
(a) 9
(b) 6
(c) 3
(d) 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

18-3p=6p+9

18-9=6p+3p

9p=9

p=1

Answer 2

Answer:

=> p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$18 - 3p = 6p + 9$

To find:- The value of the expression:

Here we will use the transposition method.

As we have,

=> $18 - 3p = 6p + 9$

Now, rearrange the terms:

=> $-3p+18=6p+9$

Subtract both sides by $18$, we get

=> $-3p=6p+9$

Subtract both sides by $6p$, we get

=> $-3p-6p=6p+9-6p$

=> $-9p=-9$

Divide both sides by $-1$, we get

=> $p = 1$

Hence, the required solution is 1.
