i already have, my answer was 21, i just want to see if i did the work right.

Answer 5

no its wrong post your work so i can see were you made the mistake

Answer 6

8 = 8p + 13 - 3p
8 = 13 - 8p + 3p
8 = 13 - 11p
i re did it and now im confused

Answer 7

8 = 8p + 13 - 3p
how did you get -8p and +3p?

Answer 8

8 = 8p + 13 - 3p
8-13=8p-3p putlike terms together
-5=5p divide
-1=p

Answer 9

@Cryxz cant you see that im teaching him

Answer 10

i thought you combined like terms first?

Answer 11

yes you do
8 = 8p + 13 - 3p
you have +8p and -3p what would you get if you add them?

Answer 12

5p? so 8 = 13 + 8p - 3p?

Answer 13

yes
8 = 13 + 8p - 3p
8 = 13 + 5p
now?

Answer 14

8 = 13 + 5p
13 - 8= 13 - 13 + 5p
5 = 5p then simplify?

Answer 15

13-8?

Answer 16

subtract 13 from each side right?

Answer 17

yes
so is it -13 or +13?

Answer 18

13 is positive?

Answer 19

why positive?

Answer 20

no, negative, it inherits the operation right.

Answer 21

yes you are subtracting so it should be -
so write the equation now

Answer 22

8 = 13 + 5p
-13 + 8= 13 - 13 + 5p
-5 = 5p

Answer 23

yes, now?

Answer 24

divide by by 5p and get -1 as your answer. if thats the way its meant to be done, its no wonder im failing math this week.

Answer 25

-1 is correct;

just pay attention to + and -

if you need other help let me know

Answer 26

on the side of the equation, the positive 8, when anything is added to that side, for example the -13, as long as the 8 is positive it will be addition right?

Answer 27

it will be addition if you are adding positive number for example if it was
8 = 5p - 13
you will have to add 13 to both sides
