Answer:
p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 18 from behind the equal sign to cancel it out. This leaves you with 2(p+1)- 18= 0.
Next you'll need to pull out the terms to work with the beginning of the problem. 2(p+1)- 18= 0 would turn into 2p - 16 = 2(p - 8).
This would leave you with 2= 0, but that's not true so continue on to the variable.
So p - 8= 0 making the answer p = 8
Multiply the equation:

The solution set is the same, because multiplying both sides of an equation by a non-zero number doesn't change the solution set. In fact, if you rewrite the equation as

Multiplying this by 3 (or whatever number, for all it matters) gives

Now, a product is zero if and only if at least one of the factor is zero. So, either
or 
Since the first is clearly impossible, the second one must be true, which is the original equation.
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3/ x = 4/(x-2)
Using cross products
3 (x-2) = 4x
Distribute
3x - 6 = 4x
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-3x-6 = 4x-3x
-6 =x
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
39+5=44
100-44=56
56 percent of 125 is 70
