Question

HELP ASAP Solve. p + 11 – 4p = 8 p =

Answer 1

Steps:

1) We have to keep the $x$'s on one side. For simplification can only occur between $x$ with each other.

2) We have to keep the number on other side. Be careful that you do not simplify it with the $x$.

Simply, group the like terms and simplify.

Methods:

$p+11–4p=8$

=>  $p–4p+11=8$

=>  $-3p+11=8$

=>  $-3p+11-11=8-11$

=>  $-3p=-3$

=>  $\frac{-3p}{-3}= \frac{-3}{-3}$

=>  $p=1$

Answer 2

P+ 11 -4p= 8
⇒ (p -4p)+11= 8 (combine like terms)
⇒ -3p= 8-11
⇒ -3p= -3
⇒ p= -3/(-3)
⇒ p= 1

Final answer: p=1~
