Is p = -1 a solution to the equation 6(p – 4) = -30p?

1 answer:

6 0

To know if p = -1 is a possible solution to 6(p – 4) = -30p, plug in -1 for p and see if the equation is true.

6(p – 4) = -30p
6(-1 – 4) = -30(-1)

6(-1 – 4) = -30(-1)
Solve the parentheses.
-1 - 4 = -5

6(-5) = -30(-1)
Multiply.
6 • -5 = -30
-30 • -1 = 30

-30 = 30
This is not true, so p = -1 is NOT a possible solution for the equation 6(p – 4) = -30p.

Hope this helps!

Since only one person can finish in first place, one in second, etc., the total number of placers is 12x11x10, or 1320 different ways the 12 racers can finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd....
