We want to solve 4|p-3| = |2p+8|

Ths equation is equvalent to 4 equatons.

Case 1.
4(p - 3) = 2p + 8
4p - 12 = 2p + 8
2p = 20
Answer:  p = 10

Check the solution. 
4|p-3| = 4*7 = 28
|2p+8| = 2*10+8 = 28
The solution is correct.

Case 2.
4(3 - p) = 2p + 8
12 - 4p = 2p + 8
4 = 6p
Answer:  p = 2/3

Check the solution.
4|p-3| = 4*|(2/3-3)| = 28/3
|2p+8| = 28/3
The solution is correct.

Case 3.
4(p-3) = -2p - 8
4p - 12 = -2p - 8
6p = 4
Answer: p = 2/3
The solution is correct because it was checked in case 2.

Case 4.
4(3 - p) = -2p - 8
12 - 4p = -2p - 8
20 = 2p
Answer:  p = 10

Flura [38]

Answer:

B. 6 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above y by carrying out addition.

The quarts of Lemonade she made is calculated as:

1 2/5 quarts of syrup + 5 3/10 quarts of water

= 1 + 5 + (2/5 + 3/10)

Lowest common denominator = 10

= 6 ( 4 + 3/10)

= 6 7/10 quarts of Lemonade

Mrs Olive made 6 7/10 quarts of Lemonade
