You would get all like variables on one side by either adding or subtracting, though, in this case you would only subtract. This would give you 8p-7p=10-8. You would then combine like terms, giving you p=2. That should be your final answer (:
To solve this problem we can think of a rule of three. Writing the rule of three we have: 3 ---> 2 x ----> 18 Clearing the value of x x = ((18) / (2)) * (3) = 27 answer zak will take 27 steps if rich takes 18 steps
