Question

solve the equation 4(3p+2) - 5(6p-1) = 2(p-8) -6(7p-4)​

Answer 1

4(3p+2)-5(6p-1)=2(p-8)-6(7p-4)

12p +8-30p+5=2p-16-42p+24

12p-2p+42p-30p=-16+24-8-5

22p=6

p=6/22

p=3.66

Answer 2

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

=54p-32p = 24-29

=22p = - 5

= p = - 5/22

Ans. p = - 5/22
