Answer: p = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

4|p-3| = |2p + 8|. First multiply 4 with p and -3. You’ll get 4p-12. You will now have 4p-12 = 2p+8. You have to switch -12 & 2p, but you have to switch the signs so -12 turns into +12 and 2p turns into -2p. 4p-2p = 8+12. This makes 2p=20. Your final answer will be p = 10.

Answer: $ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost price of each soup = x dollars

The cost price of 16 soup = 16 x

The selling price of 16 soup = 16 x + 96

Since, the total money received for 16 soup = The selling price of 16 soup - The cost price of 16 soup

= 16 x + 96 - 16 x

= 96

Thus, the total money received for 16 soup = 96 dollars

⇒ The total money received for 1 soup = $\frac{96}{16}$ dollars

⇒ The total money received for 1 soup = 6 dollars

Hence, for each soup 6 dollars is received.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

2=8x-2/9
add 2/9 to both sides
2 and 2/9=8x
2=18/9
2 and 2/9=18/9+2/9=20/9
20/9=8x
multiply both sides by 9
20=72x
divide boht isdes by 72
20/72=x=5/18
