Answer 2

This is your question...

\(\huge{3+17p = -32 - 11p}\) ?

Answer 3

the value of p

Answer 4

First we would need to get the numbers without variables to one side so we would subtract 3 from both sides....

\(\huge{(3-3)+17p=(-32-3)-11p}\)

What would that equal?

Answer 6

Did you find the simplification of....

\(\huge{(3-3)+17p=(-32-3)-11p}\)

Answer 7

17p to -18p

Answer 10

Hmmm it would actually be...

\(\huge{17p=-35-11p}\)

Now we need to get the variable to one side so we would have to add 11p to both sides....

\(\huge{17p+11p=-35(-11p+11p)}\)

What does that simplify too?

Answer 11

28p=-35(22p)

Answer 12

0p

Answer 13

instead of 22p

Answer 14

Correct :) So we have...

\(\huge{28p=-35}\)

Now we need to isolate the variable...so we would divide by 28 from both sides...

\(\Huge\color{Red}{\frac{28p}{28}=\frac{-35}{28}}\)

What would p equal?

Answer 15

-35 @563blackghost

Answer 16

p=-35/28

Answer 17

p=?

Answer 18

p=28

Answer 19

Correct but simplify the fraction :)

We list the factors of both 35 and 28...

35: 1, 5, 7, 35
28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

What factor do they share?

Answer 20

7

Answer 21

and 1

Answer 22

So we divide by 7....

\(\huge{\frac{-35}{28} \div \frac{7}{7}=?}\)

Answer 23

1.25

Answer 24

or 5/4

Answer 25

Actually it will be `-1.25`....So p equals...

\(\huge{p=-\frac{5}{4}}\)
