Question

Solve the following equation.
-6p +7= 3(20-3) - 46-
10 + 4p)
(1 point)
p =6
p =5
p =7
p =12

Answer 1

That’s not an answer on my question

Answer 2

First, let's simplify the equation:

-6p + 7 = 3(20 - 3) - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = 3(17) - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = 51 - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = -5 + 4p

Now, let's group like terms:

-6p - 4p = -5 - 7

-10p = -12

Next, let's solve for p by dividing both sides of the equation by -10:

p = (-12)/(-10)
p = 6/5

So, the solution to the equation is p = 6/5 or p = 1.2.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. I made an error in my solution. Let's correct it:

-6p + 7 = 3(20 - 3) - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = 3(17) - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = 51 - 46 - 10 + 4p

-6p + 7 = -5 + 4p

Now, let's subtract 4p on both sides:

-6p - 4p + 7 = -5 + 4p - 4p

-10p + 7 = -5

Now, let's subtract 7 on both sides:

-10p + 7 - 7 = -5 - 7

-10p = -12

Next, let's solve for p by dividing both sides of the equation by -10:

p = (-12)/(-10)
p = 6/5

So, the solution to the equation is p = 6/5 or p = 1.2.
