Distribute to 5p + 15 + 9 = 3p - 6 + 6
Then .. 5p + 24 = 3p
24 = -2p
-12 = p
Answer:
18-9x
Step-by-step explanation:
So check the picture below
if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is

the truck, ends up with a clearance of

on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together,
(-7x + 2)^1/3 = (4 + 3x)^1/3
take the cube of both side to eliminate the 1/3 power
so you get
-7x+2=4+3x
combine like terms
-10x=2
solve for x
x=-1/5
Is this a simultaneous equation question?
