Question

Solve: 3-(p+8)/1=-6(p+6)/3

Answer 1

Answer:

p=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

3-(p+8)/1=-6(p+6)/3

3-p-8=-2(p+6)

-5-p=-2p-12

2p-p=-12+5

p=-7

Answer 2

Answer:

- 7

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large \text{We have to solve 3-(p+8)/1=-6(p+6)/3 }$

$\large 3-(p+8)=-6(p+6)/3\\\\\\\large (3-(p+8))\times3=-6(p+6)$

Now multipying to get one term

$\large 9-3(p+8)=-6p-36)\\\\\\\large 9-3p-24=-6p-36$

Transfer p one side and constant term one side

$\large -3p+6p=-36+24-9$

Now do basic calculation .

$\large 3p=-12-9\\\\\\\large 3p=-21\\\\\\\large p=-7$

Thus we get answer - 7.

Verification:

3 - ( p + 8) / 1 = - 6 ( p + 6 ) / 3

3 - ( p + 8) = - 2 ( p + 6 )

putting p = - 7 here

3 - ( - 7 + 8) = - 2 ( - 7 + 6 )

3 - ( 1 ) = - 2 ( - 1 )

3 - 1 = 2

2 = 2.

L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence verified.
