<span>Simplifying
7p + 2 = 5p + 8
Reorder the terms:
2 + 7p = 5p + 8
Reorder the terms:
2 + 7p = 8 + 5p
Solving
2 + 7p = 8 + 5p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5p' to each side of the equation.
2 + 7p + -5p = 8 + 5p + -5p</span>
The answer is 17/22 17/20 because of the fractions
The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.
I have two other ways:
Way #1:
5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.
We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.
There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.
Way #2:
-- Get 2 friends to help you.
-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.
-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.
-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.
-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.
