Question

If f(x) = −3x + 4 and g(x) = 2, solve for the value of x for which f(x) = g(x) is true.Noah started to solve the equation –4.6p – 6.3p + 3.9 = –9.18 below. Combine like terms: –10.9p + 3.9 = –9.18 Apply the next steps to solve the equation. What is the solution? p =

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

–4.6p – 6.3p + 3.9 = –9.18

Combining the like terms,

–4.6p – 6.3p = -9.18 - 3.9

−10.9p = −13.08

⇒ $p=\dfrac{-13.08}{-10.9}\\\\p=1.2$

Hence, the value of p is 1.2
