-2(8p+2)-3(2-7p)-2(4+2p)=0
mutiply the first bracket by -2
(-2)(8p)= -16p
(-2)(+2)= -4
mutiply the second bracket by -3
(-3)(2)= -6
(-3)(-7p)= 21p
mutiply the third bracket by -2
(-2)(4)= -8
(-2)(+2p)= -4p
-16p-4-6+21p-8-4p= 0
-16p+21p-4p-4-6-8= 0 ( combine like terms)
5p-4p-4-6-8= 0
p-4-6-8= 0
p-10-8= 0
p-18= 0
move -18 to the other side to get p by itself
sign changes from -18 to +18
p-18+18= 0+18
p= 0+18
Answer: p= 18
Answer:
22 meters per second
Step-by-step explanation:
If a car is going 374 meters in 17 seconds then you divide 374/17 claiming that the car is going 22 meters every second.
The balance would be 1,500$.
1,500 divided by 5 is 300. So they would have to make five payments of 300$.
Answer: x > − 4
Step-by-step explanation: Divide each term in − 4 x < 16 by − 4 and simplify.

Answer:
Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:
- Let us express the question in terms of equations
Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.
Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)
Equation 2: a + b = 2000
From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)
2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:
0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)
0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)
1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180
0.3b = 180
b = 600
Substitute in equation 3:
a = 2000 - 600
a = 1400
As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.
