7p + 4 = − p + 9 + 2p + 3p
7p + 4 = 9 + 4p

okay I got it
Mehek (mehek14):
So what would the answer be?
OpenStudy (commonlizer):
11=13 right
Mehek (mehek14):
nope
9 - 4 = 5
7p - 4p = 3p
3p = 5
I asked to move 4 to the other side and 4p to the left
OpenStudy (alex136):
\[7p+4=−p+9+2p+3p \]
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
\[7p+4=−p+9+2p+3p \]
Simplify:
\[7p+4=(−p+2p+3p)+(9) \](Combine Like Terms)
\[7p+4=4p+9 \]
Step 2: Subtract 4p from both sides.
\[7p+4−4p=4p+9−4p \]
\[3p+4=9 \]
Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.
\[3p+4−4=9−4 \]
\[3p=5 \]
