Question

What is the value of p in the linear equation 24p + 12 – 18p = 10 + 2p – 6? p =

Answer 1

24p + 12 - 18p = 10 + 2p - 6
24p-2p-18p=10-6-12
4p=-8
p=-8/4
p=-2

Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

⇒24p + 12 - 18p = 10 + 2p - 6

⇒ 24p - 18p + 12 = 10 - 6 + 2p

⇒ p( 24 - 18 ) + 12 = 4 + 2p

⇒ p( 6 ) + 12 = 4 + 2p

⇒ 6p + 12 = 4 + 2p

⇒ 2( 3p + 6 ) = 2( 2 + p )

⇒ { 2( 3p + 6 ) } / 2 = { 2( 2 + p ) } / 2

⇒ 3p + 6 = 2 + p

⇒ 3p - p = 2 - 6

⇒ 2p = - 4

⇒ 2p / 2 = - 4 / 2

⇒ p = - 2

Therefore the value of x satisfying the equation is -2.
