$q = - p - 6$

$5q + 2p + 4 - 3q = - 8 \\ 2q + 2p + 4 = - 8 \\ 2q + 4 = - 8 - 2p \\ 2q = - 8 - 2p - 4 \\ 2q = - 12 - 2p \\ \frac{2q}{2} = \frac{ - 2p - 12}{2} \\ q = \frac{ - 2p - 12}{2} \\ q = - p - 6$

Answer:

q = -p-6

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 5q+2p+4 = 3q-8

(Combining like terms)

=>5q-3q = -2p-8-4

=> 2q = -2p -12

=> 2q = 2(-p-6)

Dividing both sides by 2

=> q = -p-6

Hey I’m struggling with number 13 so please show your work. Thx

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because $\frac{3}{5}$ is being multiplied by S, we can divide $\frac{3}{5}$ from both sides of the equation. This will give us:

$\frac{1}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{5}$

But, that looks a bit hectic. Instead of dividing, you can multiply by the reciprocal (which is essentially how to divide fractions). So, instead of $\frac{1}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{5}$ , you get:

$\frac{1}{4}$ × $\frac{5}{3}$

When multiplying fractions, remember you can just multiply straight across-- numerator x numerator, then denominator x denominator.

By doing that, you get the fraction $\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{5}{12}$ cannot be simplified any more, so S= $\frac{5}{12}$ is your answer :)

I hope this helps

If (5^2)p = 5^12, what is the value of p?

mr Goodwill [35]

Divide both sides by 5^2 (which is 25). So p = (5^12)/25. I can't be bothered to plug in into a calculator but be my guest.
