Question

3. Solve the following equations:
(a) 4 = 5(p - 2)
(b) – 4 = 5(p - 2)
(c) 16 = 4 + 3(t + 2)
(d) 4+ 5(p - 1) =34
(e) 0 = 16 + 4(m - 6)​

Answer 1

Answer:

a...p=14/5

b...p=6/5

c...t=2

d...p=7

e...m=2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)...

p-2=4/5

p=(4/5)+2

p=(4+10)/5

p=14/5

b)...

5(p-2)=-4

p-2=-4/5

p=(-4/5)+2

p=(-4+10)/5

p=6/5

c)..

3(t+2)=16-4

3(t+2)=12

t+2=12/3

t+2=4

t=4-2

t=2

d)...

5(p-1)=34-4

5(p-1)=30

p-1=30/5

p-1=6

p=6+1

p=7

e)...

4(m-6)=-16

m-6=-16/4

m-6=-4

m=-4+6

m=2
