Answer:

p = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3p + 7 = - 4(4 - 6p) + 2 ← distribute and simplify right side

3p + 7 = - 16 + 24p + 2

3p + 7 = 24p - 14 ( subtract 3p from both sides )

7 = 21p - 14 ( add 14 to both sides )

21 = 21p ( divide both sides by 21 )

1 = p , that is p = 1

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

$3p + 7 = - 4(4 - 6p) + 2 \\ 3p + 7 = - 16 + 24p + 2 \\ 3p - 24p = - 16 + 2 - 7 \\ - 21p = - 21$

$\frac{ - 21p}{ - 21} = \frac{ - 21}{ - 21} \\ p = 1$

Degger [83]

Answer:

The total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples is <u>$6.48</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last week,the price of apples at a grocery store was 1.60 per pound.This week,apples at the same grocery store are on sale for a 10% discount.

Now, to find the total price of 4 1/2 pounds of apples this week at the grocery store.

The price of apples at a grocery store last week was = $1.60 per pound.

This week apples at the same grocery store is on sale of 10% discount.

Thus, the price of apples at a grocery store this week is:

$1.60-10\%\ of\ 1.60.$

$=1.60-\frac{10}{100} \times 1.60$

$=1.60-0.16$

$=\$1.44.$

So, the price of apples per pound this week is $1.44.

Now, to get the total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples by using unitary method:

If 1 pound of apples cost = $1.44.$

Then, $\frac{9}{2}$ pound of apples cost = $1.44\times \frac{9}{2}$

$=1.44\times 4.5$

$=\$6.48.$

Therefore, the total price of $4\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of apples is $6.48.
