Question

how do you solve p-1=5p+3p-8

Answer 1

isolate p by itself

Answer 2

First, combine like terms,
p-1=8p-8

Then, add 1 to both sides,

p=8p-8+1

Subtract 8p from both sides.

p-8p=-8+1

Combine like terms on the left side.

-7p=-8+1

Combine like terms on the right side.

-7p =-7

Divide both sides by -7 to isolate p

p= -7/-7

Reduce.

p=1

Answer 3

Youre welcome :)

Answer 4

Solve for p:
\[p-1 = 8 p-8 \]Move terms with p to the left hand side.
Subtract 8 p from both sides:
\[(p-8 p)-1 = (8 p-8 p)-8 \]Combine like terms in p-8 p.
\[p-8 p = -7 p: \]\[-7 p-1 = (8 p-8 p)-8 \]Look for two terms that sum to zero.
\[8 p-8 p = 0: \]\[-7 p-1 = -8 \]Isolate terms with p to the left hand side.
Add 1 to both sides:
\[(1-1)-7 p = 1-8 \]Look for two terms that sum to zero.
\[1-1 = 0: \]\[-7 p = 1-8 \]Evaluate 1-8.
\[1-8 = -7: \]\[-7 p = -7 \]Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of -7 p = -7 by -7:
\[\frac{-7 p}{-7} = \frac{-7}{-7}\]Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
\[\frac{-7}{-7} = 1:\]\[p = \frac{-7}{-7}\]Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
\(\large \frac{-7}{-7} = 1:\)
