<em>9 - 4(2p - 1) =45</em>
<em>5(2p - 1) = 45</em>
<em>10p - 5 = 45</em>
<em>10p = 45 + 5</em>
<em>10p = 50</em>
<em>p = 50/10</em>
<em>p =5 (ans)</em>
Using the distributive property to write an equivalent expression,
60x-24=12(5x-2)
Answer:
a is 15, b is 15, c is -15, and d is -15 also
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 parallel lines that surround the number are called "absolute value signs" everything inside them has an outcome of a positive number and in this case the number is 15. Like I said the number(s) inside the absolute value signs have to have a outcome of a positive number, notice in c and d there is a negative sign outside the absolute value signs. Therefore you multiply the negative seperately so, 15(-1) is -15.
