So we want to solve like if it was just a basic equation. We start with 25+3.50x<17+7.50x and get rid of our smallest x. That means we get rid of the 3.50x by subtracting from both sides and our new equation is 25<17+4x. Let’s get our x by itself shall we, so let’s subtract 17 from both sides and we get 8<4x. Finally all we do is divide by 4 and just like that 2
Simplifying
P + -21 + -21 = 34 + -21
-21 + -21 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: -21 + -21 = -42
-42 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: 34 + -21 = 13
-42 + P = 13
Solving
-42 + P = 13
Solving for variable 'P'.
Move all terms containing P to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + 42 + P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + P = 13 + 42
P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: 13 + 42 = 55
P = 55
Simplifying
P = 55
