5 1/2 + p = 6
subtract 5 /12 from each side
5 1/2 - 5 1/2+ p = 6 - 5 1/2
p = 6 - 5 1/2
borrow from the 6
p = 5 2/2 - 5 1/2
p = 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Just truely be open about your feelings, don't try and sugarcoat it, or leave things out, just be honest with her and tell her straight up, politely of course.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :
2x - 8 = 5x + 3
⇒ 
⇒
{ subtract 2x from both side }
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
{ subtract 3 from both sides }
⇒ 
⇒
⇒
{ divide 3 from both sides }
⇒ 
First term: a1 = 151
common difference: d = -14 (we decrease by 14 each time, eg, 151-14 = 137)
nth term of this arithmetic sequence is...
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 151+(-14)(n-1)
an = 151-14n+14
an = -14n+165
This will be used in the formula below
Sn = n*(a1+an)/2
<span>Sn = n*(151+(-14n+165))/2
</span><span>S26 = 26*(151+(-14*26+165))/2 ... replace every n with 26
</span>S26 = -624
The final answer here is choice C) -624
