Question

Which would be used to solve this equation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

multiplying both-side of the equation by 3

substituting 36 for p to check the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation p/3 = 12, we will follow the steps below;

first multiply 3 to both-side of the equation, that is:

p/3 × 3 = 12 × 3

On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator, leaving us with just p while on the right-hand side of the equation 12 will be multiplied by 3

p= 36

To check the correctness of the equation, we can substitute p = 36 back into the equation and then check, that is;

p/3 = 12

36/3 = 12

This implies p = 36 is correct
