-5p - 20 = 3p - 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine like terms

OpenStudy (igreen):

Add 20 to both sides: \(-5p = 3p - 10 + 20\) Can you add -10 + 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that gives you: \(-5p = 3p + 10\) Now subtract 3p to both sides: \(-5p - 3p = 10\) Can you subtract -5p - 3p?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2p=10?

OpenStudy (igreen):

That's -5p - 3p, check again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8p = 10

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep!

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now divide -8 to both sides, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got now, thank you

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, what did you get?
