1 - The value of p in the equation is p = 0.
2 - The simplified form of the equation is 3x = 1, the reason behind this is when you do the equation, you get x = 1/3. When you do the equation 3x = 1 you get x = 1/3 as well.
3 - The value of z in the equation is z = 13.
4 - In order to figure out what step he did something wrong on, we first need to solve the problem, the answer we will get is x = 2.
To do this the easy way, we can solve each step, and see what one wouldn't equal 2, which the step he did wrong is Step 2.
So, to do Step 2 correctly, it would be: Step 2 - 12x − 6 = 14 + 2x.
Where did you get this question?
Y = mx + b
8x - 4y - 9 = 0
first you move the nine to the other side of the equal sign (add nine to both sides)
8x - 4y = 9
then you need to also move your 8x over to the other side as well (remember we are trying to get y by itself!)
- 4y = -8x + 9
then we are going to divide -4 to both sides
and you get
y = 2x - 9/4
we can then identify the slope as 2
so B. 2 would be your answer
hope this helped
You have to find the two number that you can multiply to get 81 but the answer is 9
