Question

132=-6+3(1-5p) solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$p = -9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

$132 = -6 + 3(1 - 5p)$

$132 = -6 + (3 * 1) + (3 * -5p)$

$132 = -6 + 3 - 15p$

Step 2:  Combine like terms

$132 = (-6 + 3) - 15p$

$132 = -3 - 15p$

Step 3:  Add 3 to both sides

$132 + 3 = -3 - 15p + 3$

$135 = -15p$

Step 4:  Divide both sides by -15

$135 / -15 = -15p / -15$

$-9 = p$

Answer:  $p = -9$

Answer 2

Answer:

p=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

132=-6+3 (1-5p)

-6+3 (1-5p)=132

-6+3 (1-5p)+6=132+6

3(1-5p)=138

3(1-5p)/3=138/3

1-5p=46

1-5p-1=46-1

-5p=45

p=-9
