How do I solve |5-3p|+9=13p+8

Mathematics

anastassius [24]3 years ago

Answer:

p = -2/5 or 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

|5 − 3p| + 9 = 13p + 8

|5 − 3p| = 13p − 1

If 5 − 3p is positive:

5 − 3p = 13p − 1

6 = 16p

p = 3/8

If 5 − 3p is negative:

-(5 − 3p) = 13p − 1

-5 + 3p = 13p − 1

-4 = 10p

p = -2/5

Alternatively, we can square both sides of the equation:

(5 − 3p)² = (13p − 1)²

25 − 30p + 9p² = 169p² − 26p + 1

0 = 160p² + 4p − 24

0 = 40p² + p − 6

0 = (5p + 2) (8p − 3)

p = -2/5 or 3/8
