Answer:

A)  p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

3(p - 5) = 5p -27

<u />

Apply the <u>Distributive Property of Multiplication over subtraction law</u>:

⇒ 3 · p - 3 · 5 = 5p - 27

⇒ 3p - 15 = 5p - 27

Add 27 to both sides:

⇒ 3p - 15 + 27 = 5p - 27 + 27

⇒ 3p + 12 = 5p

Subtract 3p from both sides:

⇒ 3p - 3p + 12 = 5p - 3p

⇒ 12 = 2p

⇒ 2p = 12

Divide both sides by 2:

⇒ 2p ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2

⇒ p = 6

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=1/2x+3

The average price of a gallon of milk is $3.31. If the price increases .88% each year , how much will a gallon of milk cost in 2
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$3.94

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to use the compound interest formula for this.

P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

P = initial balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

Your equation will look like this:

3.31(1+\frac{.0088}{1} )^{20} = 3.94
