Question

LINEAR EQUATION IN ONE VARIABLE

Answer 1

p=x
$12x + 8 - 30x + 5 = 2x - 16 - 42x + 24 \\ - 18x + 13 = - 40x + 24 \\ - 18x + 40x = 24 - 13 \\ 22x = 11 \\ x = \frac{11}{22} \\ x = \frac{1}{2}$
p=1/2

Answer 2

$\huge{\green{\boxed{\pink{\underline{\red{\mathbb{AnSwEr \: ❣}}}}}}}$

$4(3p + 2) - 5(6p - 1) = 2(p - 8) - 6(7p - 4) \\ \\ 12p + 8 - 30p + 5 = 2p - 16 - 42p + 24 \\ \\ 12p - 30p - 2p + 42p = - 16 + 24 - 8 - 5 \\ \\ - 26p = - 5 \\ \\ p = \frac{ - 5}{\ - 26} \\ \\ p = \frac{5}{26}$
