Answer:

p = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equality is p= -2p - 15p

Simplifying, p = (-2-15)p

=> p= -17p

Moving all the terms to the left hand side:

=> p + 17 p =0

=> 18 p =0

The only value of p for which this equality will hold is when p= 0/18 = 0

Validation:

Substituting p = 0 in the original equality:

p= -2p - 15p

LHS = p = 0

RHS = -2p - 15p

= -2*0 -15*0 = 0-0 = 0

So the two sides are equal and the equality is valid for p = 0.

Need steps to; the number 60 is 40% of ?
KIM [24]
Let x be the number, then 60 = 40% of x & x =60/40%=60/0.4=150
then the number of which 60 represent 40% of it is 150
2) Let x be the time needed to the 16 clerks to finish the job

In one day the 32 clerks complete a portion of 32/22 of the job
    In one day the 16 clerks complete a portion of 16/x of the job
    So in 1 day===> 32/22 =16/x ==> x=(22*16)/32 = 11 days

Megan cut a string into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is 4 fifths of a foot long. How many feet long was the string before Megan cu
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Total = 3\frac{1}{5}ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pieces = 4

Size = \frac{4}{5}ft

Required

Determine the total size of the string

To do this, we multiply the number of pieces by the length of each piece.

Total = Pieces * Size

Total = 4 * \frac{4}{5}ft

Total = \frac{4 * 4}{5}ft

Total = \frac{16}{5}ft

Convert to mixed number

Total = 3\frac{1}{5}ft

Solve the given inequality and graph the solution on a number line. -x/2 + 3/2 &lt; 5/2
Ket [755]

Answer:

x > −2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to isolate the variable. You can do this by first subtracting 3/2 from both sides of the inequality sign.

You will get -x/2 < 2/2.

Next, since x is being divided by -2, you will multiply it by -2 to undo it. Do this to both sides.

Note that when multiplying or dividing by a negative you will flip the inequality sign. '<' becomes '>' and '>' becomes '<'.

You will get x > -2.
