Question

For what values of p is the value of the binomial 1.5p−1 smaller than the value of the binomial 1+1.1p by 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

  p = -5  (only)

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like we want to count solutions for ...

  (1.5p -1) = (1 +1.1p) -4

  0.4p = -2

  p = -2/0.4 = -5

For p having a value of -5, the binomial (1.5p -1) = -8.5 will be smaller than the value of (1 +1.1p) = -4.5 by 4.
