Answer 1

Answer:

3(4p-2) + 3= 2p-5

12p-6 +3 = 2p-5

10p-3=-5

10p=-2

p=-1/5

There is one solution.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

one solution

-0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4p - 2) +3 = 2p - 5         Remove the brackets on the left

12p - 6 + 3 = 2p - 5           Combine

12p  - 3 = 2p -5                  Subtract 2p from both sides

12p - 2p - 3 = -5                Combine

10p - 3 = - 5                       Add 3 to both sides

10p = -5 + 3

10p = - 2                            Divide by 10

p = - 0.2
