For this case we have the following equation:

If we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 we get:
---> Multiplication Property of Equality
Applying the distributive property we have:
---> Distributive Property
Adding 1 on both sides of equality we have:

---> Addition Property of Equality
Subtracting
on both sides we have:

---> Subtraction Property of Equality
Finally, dividing by -4 on both sides we have:

---> Division Property of Equality
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:





Answer:
P= 150
Substitute P with 150 and you will get 30
a is the beggining number and n is the amount of times needed to do this. if is 17 you would need to subtract 7 from the originol number 12 (a) that many times.
