Question

How do u solve 11p + 16 = 2p + 7 ?? please give a step by step *EXTRA POINTS*

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

p = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

11p + 16 = 2p + 7

First of all subtract 2p from both sides by the equation

That's

11p - 2p + 16 = 2p - 2p + 7

9p + 16 = 7

Using the subtraction property subtract 16 from both sides of the equation

We have

9p + 16 - 16 = 7 - 16

9p = - 9

Divide both sides by 9

$\frac{9p}{9} = - \frac{9}{9}$

We have the final answer as

p = - 1

Hope this helps you
