Question

What is the value of P? 10p + 5 = 18p–6/2It's 18p - 6 over 2.

Answer 1

Simplify 6/2 to 3

subtract 10p from both sides

simplify 18p - 3 - 10p to 8p - 3

add 3 to both sides

add 5 + 3 so it can = 8

divide both sides by 8

Answer: p = 1.

Answer 2

Hello there!

1) we have to subtract by the number 18p from each of your sides
Like: 10p + 5 - 18p
= 18p -3 -180
This gives us: -8p + 5 = -3
Nextly, we have to subtract by 5 on each of your sides
Like: -8p + 5 - 5
= -3 - 5
This gives us: -8p = -8
Now we have divide by the -8 on each of your sides:
Like: -8p ÷ -8
= -8 ÷ -8
Answer: p = 1

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day/night
