Question

3 (p - 6 ) = 6 (p + 1) solving proportions?

Answer 1

6p-18=6p+6
=24

Answer 2

wait

Answer 3

No, just use usual algebra. First divide both sides by 3 to get

p - 6 = 2(p+1)

Answer 4

i screwed up

Answer 5

That means multiplying out the 2(p+1)

p - 6 = 2p + 2

Hence

- 6 = p + 2

I.e.,

-8 = p

Answer 6

3p-18=6p+6
-3p=24
p=-8

Answer 7

what i don'tundersand

Zluboldt i understand you but not JamesJ I don't understand yours

Answer 9

yeah, i don't know what he was doing

Answer 10

3 (p - 6 ) = 6 (p + 1)
