Question

1. Solve the following equation
5(p – 2) + 3 (p + 1) = 25

Answer 1

Answer:

$5(p - 2) + 3(p + 1) =25 \\ 5p - 10 + 3p + 3 = 25 \\ 2p - 7 = 25 \\ 5p = 25 \\ p = \frac{25}{5} \\ p = 5... \\ hope \: its \: helps....$

Answer 2

answer =  5(p – 2) + 3 (p + 1) = 25

            =   5p-10 + 3p+3 = 25

            =   -10+3-25 = -5p-3p

            =   -7-25 = -8p

            =   -32 = -8p

                 p = 32

                       -8

                 p = -4
