Question

Help me please! I have no idea what I’m doing! Solve : 3p+ 25(8) = -21p -40

Answer 1

Answer:

$3p+\:25\left(8\right)\:=\:-21p\:-40 : p = -10$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3p+25\left(8\right)=-21p-40$

Remove parentheses: $\left(a\right)=a$

$3p+25\cdot \:8=-21p-40$

Multiply the numbers: $25\cdot \:8=200$

$3p+200=-21p-40$

Subtract 200 from both sides:

$3p+200-200=-21p-40-200$

Simplify:

$3p=-21p-240$

Add 21p to both sides:

$3p+21p=-21p-240+21p$

Simplify:

$24p=-240$

Divide both sides by 24:

$\frac{24p}{24}=\frac{-240}{24}$

Simplify:

p = -10

Hope I helped, if so may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you, have a good day! =)

Answer 2
