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.

Simplify the expression 6x+12y+5+2y+8 what is the coefficient of y and what is the constant
frez [133]
We want to find the coeficient of the y terms when added together so find all the y terms

+12y and +2y
we add them together
12y+2y=(12+2)y=(14)y=14y
coeficient is 14


the constant is the number that is set already or the number that doesn't have it multiplied by a placeholder exg. 4 is a constnat but 4x is not so find the constants
+5 and +8
we add
5+8=13
the constant is 13


y coeficient=14
constant=14
