Step-by-step explanation:
So,
First, I'd like to note that it is required to show work. You shouldn't need to ask for steps.
7(2p + 3) - 8 = 6p + 29
Distribute
14p + 21 - 8 = 6p + 29
Collect Like Terms
14p + 13 = 6p + 29
Subtract 6p from both sides
8p + 13 = 29
Subtract 13 from both sides
8p = 16
Divide both sides by 8
p = 2
Check
7(2(2) + 3) - 8 = 6(2) + 29
Simplify inside the parentheses first.
7(4 + 3) - 8 = 6(2) + 29
7(7) - 8 = 6(2) + 29
Now, distribute.
49 - 8 = 12 + 29
Collect Like Terms
41 = 41 This checks.
S = { 2 }
