Question

Write the justifications for the following line transitions.

Answer 1

Hi

Here is the Justification

Line 1 : 3p-(p+8) = 5p-7            [Given]

Line 2:  3p-p-8=5p-7               [ Applying distributive property]

Line 3:  2p-8=5p-7                   [Simplifying like terms]

Line 4:   -8=3p-7                       [Subtraction property]

Line 5 -1=3p                              [Additive property](Add 7 on both sides]

Line 6 -1/3=p                             [Multiplicative inverse or division]

Line 7 p=-1/3                             [Property of equality]

Thank you.
