Question

(f) 17 = 3(p - 5) + 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

17=3(p-5)+8

You have 2 choices, and I will show you both ways of solving this. I would do it like this:

17=3(p-5)+8 Subtract the 8 over to the other side

9=3(p-5) Divide both sides by 3

3=p-5 Add 5 over to the other side

8=p

Answer 2

Answer:

$=> 17 = 3(p - 5) + 8$

$=>17 = 3p - 15 + 8$

$=>17 = 3p - 7$

$=>17 + 7 = 3p$

$=>24 = 3p$

$=>24/3 = p$

$=>8 = p$

$=> p= 8$
