the value of p in the equation 6p÷7=2p-45 is
Answers
Answer:
6p+2 (4-2p) =3 (p+4)
Simplifying
6p + 2(4 + -2p) = 3(p + 4)
6p + (4 * 2 + -2p * 2) = 3(p + 4)
6p + (8 + -4p) = 3(p + 4)
Reorder the terms:
8 + 6p + -4p = 3(p + 4)
Combine like terms: 6p + -4p = 2p
8 + 2p = 3(p + 4)
Reorder the terms:
8 + 2p = 3(4 + p)
8 + 2p = (4 * 3 + p * 3)
8 + 2p = (12 + 3p)
Solving
8 + 2p = 12 + 3p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.
8 + 2p + -3p = 12 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 2p + -3p = -1p
8 + -1p = 12 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0
8 + -1p = 12 + 0
8 + -1p = 12
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -1p = 12 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -1p = 12 + -8
-1p = 12 + -8
Combine like terms: 12 + -8 = 4
-1p = 4
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = -4
Simplifying
p = -4
6p+2 (4-2p) =3 (p+4)
Simplifying
6p + 2(4 + -2p) = 3(p + 4)
6p + (4 * 2 + -2p * 2) = 3(p + 4)
6p + (8 + -4p) = 3(p + 4)
Reorder the terms:
8 + 6p + -4p = 3(p + 4)
Combine like terms: 6p + -4p = 2p
8 + 2p = 3(p + 4)
Reorder the terms:
8 + 2p = 3(4 + p)
8 + 2p = (4 * 3 + p * 3)
8 + 2p = (12 + 3p)
Solving
8 + 2p = 12 + 3p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.
8 + 2p + -3p = 12 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 2p + -3p = -1p
8 + -1p = 12 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0
8 + -1p = 12 + 0
8 + -1p = 12
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -1p = 12 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -1p = 12 + -8
-1p = 12 + -8
Combine like terms: 12 + -8 = 4
-1p = 4
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = -4
Simplifying
p = -4
