Solve -2 = 5p + 3p -8 – 6p
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

P=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2=5p+3p−8−6p

−2=5p+3p+−8+−6p

−2=(5p+3p+−6p)+(−8)(Combine Like Terms)

−2=2p+−8

−2=2p−8

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2p−8=−2

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

2p−8+8=−2+8

2p=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2p2=62

p=3

Solve by substitution. Show each step of your work.<br><br> 2x + y = 7<br><br> 3x + 5y = 14
Monica [59]
Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
      -1  -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

This year, the Newville Tigers won six games more than the Wilton Panthers won. The Tigers won 22 games. Which equation cannot b
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The ones that can be used are (B and A)

The ones that cannot be used are (C and D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the panthers got 6 less and the tigers got 22…

b+6 would make 22 (panthers plus 6 makes tigers)

22-b would also be 6 because 6+b makes 22, so subtracting b from 22 makes 6
