First dstribute the -5
-8p-5+5p=0
Add like terms
-3p-5=0, add 5 on both sides
-3p=5, divide -3 on both sides
p=-5/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: -12x - 2y ≥ -42
Step 2: -2y ≥ -12 - 42
Step 3: y ≤ -6x + 21
So the answer is
D) <span>y ≤ -6x + 21</span>
Answer:
rain (hydrosphere) falls from clouds in the atmosphere to the lithosphere and forms streams and rivers that provide drinking water for wildlife and humans as well as water for plant growth (biosphere)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
-(3/4)*x = -(7/8)
x = -(7/8)/-(3/4)
x = 7/8 * 4/3
x = 7/6
The number = 7/6
