Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7p + 9 = 44
Reorder the terms:
9 + 7p = 44
Solving
9 + 7p = 44
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + 7p = 44 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + 7p = 44 + -9
7p = 44 + -9
Combine like terms: 44 + -9 = 35
7p = 35
Divide each side by '7'.
p = 5
Simplifying
p = 5
