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
Answer:
10 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set an equation for you and your brother.
You have $90 plus $18 for every week you save (x).
90+18x
And your brother has $120 plus $15 dollars per week that he saves (x)
120+15x
You want to have the sum of the money equal so combine the two concluded statements
90+18x=120+15x
Arrange them so that you have like terms on each side
90+18x-15x=12+15x-15x
90+3x=120
90-90+3x=120-90
3x=30
x=10
"x" is our number of weeks you and your brother save so the answer is 10 weeks
Just to be sure you can use our equation and plug 10 for every time you see x to make sure our answer is right.
