Question

How many solutions?

Answer 1

First of first we are going to solve the term inside the parenthesis in the right side of the equation .

30 + 6p = 7 ( p+6 ) - 5
30 + 6p = 7p + 42 - 5

Then , isolate the terms with variable to the left side of the equation and the constants to the right side of the equation .

30 + 6p = 7p + 42 - 5
6p - 7p = 42 - 5 - 30


- Combine the terms and solve for the variable p.

6p - 7p = 42 - 5 - 30
- 1p = 7
- 1p = 7

P = - 7

Therefore , the value of the variable p is - 7
