What is the value of p? 10p+5=18p–62 A.–8 B.–18 C. 4 D.8

mxddi3:

ok so to bgin we are going to get our variables on both sides. you are either move the constant or move the variables. I am going to start with the moving the 5. so if we have 10p+5=18p–62 to get 10p by itself we subtract 5 from both sides. this gives us 10p=18p-67 then we move the 18p to the other side, so we subtract it from both sides. then we have -8p=-67 what is -67/-8 ?

Lilian9667:

Ok

Dmoney23:

just round it

Dmoney23:

my bad

Dmoney23:

Dmoney23:

without the 4

Lilian9667:

ohh so it's 8 wait a Positive 8 or Neg 8

Dmoney23:

look at the answer

Lilian9667:

uhh I see a 8 and neg 8 up there

Lilian9667:

So it's 8

Dmoney23:

you tell me

Dmoney23:

its not that hard

Dmoney23:

you just have to put your mind to it

Lilian9667:

It's 8

Dmoney23:

if you think its right then put it

Lilian9667:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Dmoney23 if you think its right then put it \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Ok

Dmoney23:

tell me if its right

Lilian9667:

ok I figured Divide by 8 in equation 3 Simplifly p = 8.375 ≈ 8 (approx) Therefore, the value of p is, 8

Dmoney23:

there you go

Lilian9667:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Dmoney23 there you go \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Oh thanks =)

Dmoney23:

yep he is funny and smart

Lilian9667:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Dmoney23 yep he is funny and smart \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Right
