Question

solve the following equation 17+6p=9

Answer 1

17+6p=9
6p=9-17
6p=-8
p= -8/6
p= -4/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of p will be $-\frac{4}{3} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the data given in the question,

We have to find the value of the equation,

Given that,

$17+6p=9$

Here we will use the transposition method

Now, rearranging the terms.

=> $6p+17=9$

On transposing 17 on the right side,

=> 6p = 9 - 17

Subtract the numbers,

=> 6p = -8

Divide both sides by 6,

=> $p =- \frac{8}{6}$

Canceling the terms,

=> $p =- \frac{4}{3}$

Hence, the required solution will be $-\frac{4}{3} .$
