Answer 1

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

3p + 27 = 3 • (p + 9)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Equations which are never true :

2.1 Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : p+9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :

p = -9

One solution was found :

p = -9

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

3p-2=-29

Add 2 to both sides

3p= -27

Divide 3 on both sides

Final Answer: p= -9
