Question

Solve the equation: 5(p+2) - 2p * 5 = 5 + 3p

Answer 1

Solving the equation $5(p+2) - 2p * 5 = 5 + 3p$ we get $p=\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $5(p+2) - 2p * 5 = 5 + 3p$ and find value of p

Solving:

$5(p+2) - 2p * 5 = 5 + 3p$

Multiply 5 with terms inside the bracket

$5p+10-2p*5=5+3p$

Multiply 5 with 2p

$5p+10-10p=5+3p$

Adding like terms

$-5p+10=5+3p$

Adding -3p on both sides

$-5p-3p+10=5+3p-3p\\-8p+10=5$

Adding -10 on both sides

$-8p+10-10=5-10\\-8p=-5\\p=\frac{-5}{-8}\\p=\frac{5}{8}$

So, solving the equation $5(p+2) - 2p * 5 = 5 + 3p$ we get $p=\frac{5}{8}$
