7 0

Answer:

p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 18 from behind the equal sign to cancel it out. This leaves you with 2(p+1)- 18= 0.

Next you'll need to pull out the terms to work with the beginning of the problem. 2(p+1)- 18= 0 would turn into 2p - 16 = 2(p - 8).

This would leave you with 2= 0, but that's not true so continue on to the variable.

So p - 8= 0 making the answer p = 8

Answer:

A=4000, B=80, C=24

Step-by-step explanation:

You forgot to put the correct area model, I attached it to the answer.

We have the fact that Mountain Q is 4 times the height of Mountain P. That's the "4" we have in the left side of our model. It's like having a multiplication table, next to the "4" we have "A" and upper this we have "1000", the only thing we have to do is multiplify 4*1000=4000. The next letter we have is B and below it we have "320", we divided it by 4, 320/4=80. The last letter we have is C, and is below a "6", we only have to multiplify it by 4, 6*4=24.

At the end we only sum our
