Answer 2

Answer :-

• The correct option is B.

• The value of p is 3.

Given :-

• 3p + 2 = 11.

To find :-

• The value of p.

Step-by-step explanation :-

$\longmapsto\sf3p + 2 = 11$

Transposing 2 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\longmapsto\sf3p = 11 - 2$

Subtracting 2 from 11,

$\longmapsto\sf3p = 9$

Transposing 3 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\longmapsto\sf p = \dfrac{9}{3}$

Dividing 9 by 3,

$\longmapsto\overline{\boxed{\sf p = 3}}$

• The value of p is 3.

----------------------------

Verification :-

• To check our answer, let's put 3 in the place of p and check whether LHS = RHS.

LHS

$\leadsto\rm 3p + 2$

Substituting the value of p,

$\leadsto\rm 3 \times 3 + 2$

Applying the BODMAS rule and multiplying 3 with 3 first,

$\leadsto\rm 9 + 2$

Adding 2 to 9,

$\leadsto\rm 11$

RHS

$\leadsto\rm 11$

• Since LHS = RHS,
• Hence verified!
