You subtract the 12 and 3 and then add the 3+5 and you get 9x+8
P3.7 = 12.21 (p × 3.7 = 12.21)
p÷3.7 = 12.21÷3.7 (p÷3.7 cancels out p×3.7 and leaves you left with the equation p = 12.21÷3.7)
p=3.3
Let p = total pages in the book
<span>114 pages of a novel which was 3 pages less than 1/3 </span>
<span>114 was 1/3 total pages - 3 pages </span>
<span>114 = 1/3p - 3</span>
Answer is A i hope it helps
-2 | 8-x| - 6 = -12...add 6 to both sides
-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6
-2 |8-x| = - 6...divide both sides by -2
|8-x| = -6/-2
|8-x| = 3
8 - x = -3 -(8 - x) = -3
-x = -3-8 -8 + x = -3
-x = -11 x = -3 + 8
x = 11 x = 5
