Question

-7p = -3p - 8 p = Help

Answer 1

Answer:

p=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-7p = -3p - 8

Add 3p to each side

-7p+3p = -3p+3p - 8

-4p = -8

Divide each side by -4

-4p/-4 = -8/-4

p = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{p = 2}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigstar{ \sf{ \: - 7p = - 3p - 8}}$

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{Let's \: solve}}} :$

$\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{Move \: 3p \: to \: left \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: it's \: sign}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 7p + 3p = - 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Collect \: like \: terms}$

$\sf{Like \: terms \: are \: those \: which \: have \: the \: same \: base}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ - 4p = - 8}}$

$\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 4}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{ - 4p}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 8}{ - 4}}}$

$\text{Step \: 4} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{p = 2}}$

Hope I helped!
