Question

PLZ HELP
solve for p

3 (p+q) = p help me

Answer 1

you have to distribute the three to the p and q

Answer 2

So like 3p + 3q = p?

Answer 3

exactly then you take 3p to the other side and divide to get 1/3p

Answer 4

does that make sense?

Answer 5

so divide 3p to p?

Answer 6

yes that is how you get the one third

Answer 7

so divide each side by 3p or just p

Answer 8

\[3q =\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }p\]

Answer 9

is what you are left with

Answer 10

@kitkatcandy

3(p+q)=p

First use the distributive property. 3(p+q) becomes 3p+3q

3p + 3q = p

Now subtract p from both sides

2p + 3q = 0

Now subtract 3q from both sides. Instead of saying 0-3q, we can just say -3q

2p = -3q

Now divide both sides by 2

p = -3/2q
