Question

5p+2=17 solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

3 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$5p+2=17$

To find:

Simplify the equation of $5p+2=17.$

Solution:

⇒ $5p+2=17$

Here subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

⇒ $5p+2-2=17-2$

⇒ $5p=17-2$

Subtract $2$ from $17$ to get $15.$

⇒ $5p=15$

Now divide both sides of the equation by $5$.

⇒ $\frac{5p}{5} =\frac{15}{5}$

⇒ $p=\frac{15}{5}$

Divide $15$ by $5$ to get $13.$

⇒ $p=3$

Answer:

Hence the simplification of the equation $5p+2=17$ is $p=3.$
