Question

What is the value of p in the linear equation 24p + 12 – 18p = 10 + 2p – 6?

Answer 1

we have

$24p+12-18p=10+2p-6$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$24p-18p-2p=10-6-12$

Combine like terms

$4p=-8$

Divide by $4$ both sides

$4p/4=-8/4$

$p=-2$

therefore

the answer is

the value of p in the linear equation  is $-2$

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of p is -2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the equation

24p + 12 – 18p = 10 + 2p – 6

Simplify the above

24p - 18p + 12 = 10 - 6 + 2p

6p + 12 = 4 + 2p

6p - 2p = 4 - 12

4p = -8

$p = \frac{-8}{4}$

p = -2

Therefore the value of p is -2 .
