Saving I don’t know but please let me know :)
Hey there!
2(p + 1) + 8(p - 1) = 5p
2(p) + 2(1) + 8(p) + 8(-1) = 5p
2p + 2 + 8p - 8 = 5p
10p - 6 = 5p
SUBTRACT 5p to BOTH SIDES
10p - 6 - 5p = 5p - 5p
SIMPLIFY IT!
5p - 6 = 0
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
5p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6
CANCEL out: -6 + 6 because it gives you 0
KEEP: 0 + 6 because it helps solve for the p-value
5p = 0 + 6
5p = 6
DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES
5p/5 = 6/5
CANCEL out: 5/5 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 6/5 because gives you the result of the p-value
SIMPLIFY IT!
p = 6/5
Therefore, your answer is: p = 6/5
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:
The perimeter is 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you turn this shape into a rectangle, the perimeter doesn't change.
The width is given, it is 7.5. The height is BC+DE = 3.5
Then the perimeter is twice the width plus twice the height:
7.5*2 + 3.5*2 = 15+7 = 22
When you're raising a power to a power, you multiply.
Since they are equal the exponent has to be the same.
2p=8; this is the equation we'll use to make sure we get the value of p. Let's divide.
8÷2=4=p
So, p=4.
First square both sides to get:
c + 22 = (c + 2)^2
or
c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4
Move the terms on the left side to the right side:
c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0
Factor to get:
(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.
The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.
Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:
c = -6:
sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2
But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.
c = 3:
sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2
5 = 5. So, 3 works.
The answer is: B
