Question

Which of these is a simplified form of the equation 9p + 3 = − p + 7 + 2p + 3p?

5p = 4
15p = 10
9 = 4
12 = 13

Answer 1

use mathway.com for an easier way of doing this :)

Answer 2

you have to pay for that.

Answer 3

no you dont.

Answer 4

okay take your equation.
9p+3=-p+7+2p+3p
what do you do now.?

Answer 5

you do. i just asked it a question, and it told me to make an account.
and i did.
but then it asked me to enter my credit card number.

Answer 7

how do you use it?

Answer 8

would you like me to show you how to solve this.?

Answer 9

yes.

Answer 10

take your equation
9p+3=-p+7+2p+3p

now tell me what you think you need to do now

Answer 11

9p + 3? You would have to add that first right?

Answer 12

no no no. your simplifying. think "simple"

Answer 13

let me give you a hint

Answer 14

okay, thank you..

Answer 15

9p+3=-p+7+5p

what looks different here than from the original question.?

Answer 16

different numbers..

Answer 17

but simplified.

Answer 18

true, but how did the numbers change.?

Answer 19

they were added?

Answer 20

there you go.

Answer 21

so would it be a?

Answer 22

when you simplify the right side more it will look like this
9p+3=4p+7

now the numbers need to be moved.
So you subtract 4p from both sides to get
5p+3=7

Then you subtract 3 from both sides to get 5p=4 so yes, A (:

Answer 23

oh goodness, thank you so much! :)

Answer 24

i really appreciate you explaining it to me :)
