Question

What value of p is the solution of the equation: 2(p+1)+8(p-1)=3p

Answer 1

Answer: p = 10/7

Step-by-step explanation:

2p +2 +8p +8 = 3p

collect all the like terms and add

2p + 8p +2 +8 = 3p

10p + 10 = 3p

10p - 3p = 10

7p = 10

p = 10/7

therefore, p = 10/7

Answer 2

Answer:

10 (2p-1)=3p

10(-1)=3p/2p

-10=3p/2

3p=2+10

3p=12

p=12/3

p=4
