The answer is D.) 8
Explanation: 10p+5= 18p–6/2
Subtraction Property of equality states that you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation.
Subtract 10p from both sides of an equation
10p+5-10p = 18p-62-10p
Simplify:
5 = 8p -62
Addition Property of equality states that you add the same number from both sides of an equation.
Add 62 to both sides of an equation:
5+62 = 8p -62 +62
Simplify:
67 = 8p
Division Property of equality states that you divide the same number from both sides of an equation.
Divide by 8 in equation [3] ;
Simplify;
p = 8.375 ≈ 8 (approx)
Therefore, the value of p is, 8
Hope this helps :) sorry if wrong and sorry about confusion.
Answer: C) x = 3, (x = 2 is an extraneous solution)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- 
= 
- = 
Restrictions: <em>Denominator cannot equal zero</em> (x - 1 ≠ 0) and (x - 2 ≠ 0), so x ≠ 1 and x ≠ 2
- 
= 
x(x - 2) - 1(x - 1) = 2x - 5
x² - 2x - x + 1 = 2x - 5
x² - 3x + 1 = 2x - 5
<u> -2x + 5</u> <u>-2x + 5 </u>
x² - 5x + 6 = 0
(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
x - 2 = 0 x - 3 = 0
x = 2 x = 3
NOTE: x = 2 is an extraneous solution because it is one of the restricted values.
In total they're 9 people and 3 boys which would mean it would be 3/9
The value of x is about 4.7
Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 = x/6
multiply both sides by 6
18/5 = x
as a decimal
x = 3.6
