How do you solve 3p-1=5(p-1)-2(7-2p)?
1 Answer
See answer in solution below.
Explanation:
To start, it's a good idea to being by distributing the numbers outside of both of the parentheses to get individual terms
3p - 1 = 5p - 5 -14 + 4p
Then we combine like terms on both sides to get
3p - 1 = 9p - 19
Then we want to get the terms with
18 = 6p
Then to get
3 = p
And that is the final answer.
