Question

What is equation is equivalent to 6(3p-2)=20?

Answer 1

Answer:

$p = \frac{16}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(3p - 2) = 20 \\ 18p - 12 = 20 \\ 18p = 32 \\ \frac{18p}{18} = \frac{32}{18} \\ p = \frac{16}{9}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$p=\frac{16}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(3p-2)=20$

Distribute the brackets.

$6(3p)+6(-2)=20$

$18p-12=20$

Add $12$ on both sides.

$18p-12+12=20+12$

$18p=20+12$

$18p=32$

Divide $18$ on both sides.

$\frac{18p}{18}=\frac{32}{18}$

$p=\frac{16}{9}$
