p-6p+7=3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p
We move all terms to the left:
p-6p+7-(3(2p-3)-4(-10+4p)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
p-6p-(3(2p-3)-4(4p-10)+7=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-5p-(3(2p-3)-4(4p-10)+7=0
Not sure what x' means but
seems to be the reverse distributive property
normally written as
a(b+c)=ab+ac
we can see the similarity
a(x'+y)=ax+ay
distributive property
I think it is 38 people total. For everyone
I think...
-12y + 27
So what you do is take the numbers outside the (parentheses) which in this case is -3 and then multiply it to positive 4y and -9 to get your answer!
