Question

Solve the equation.

4p+25=6(p-3) - 3(4-3p)

Answer 1

First distribute to get rid of your parentheses
4p+25=6p-18-12+9p
Then simplify what you can (combine everything that has the same variable on each side, and everything that has no variables on each side)
4p+25=15p-30
Move your variables to one side, and your constants to the other
4p+25=15p-30
-15p -15p
-11p+25=-30
-25 -25
-11p=-55
Then divide by the coefficient in front of your variable (the number in front of your variable)
-11p=-55
/-11 /-11
p=-55/-11, then simplify to 5
