Yes, it's correct.
You can prove it by substituting 4 for p in the original problem.
can someone please tell me if this answer is correct
p-3+2p-9=0
p+2p-3-9=0
3p-12=0+12=0
3p/3 = 12/3 p=4

Ms Sue, Can you explain how you substitute the 4 for the p. I'm not sure if I have to add 2with the 4 or do I multiply 2 with the 4.
4-3+2( 4) -9 +0
4-3+2( 4) -9 +0
Multiply 2 * 4. The expression 2p means 2 times p.
p-3+2p-9=0
4 - 3 + 8 - 9 = 0
12 - 12 = 0
p-3+2p-9=0
4 - 3 + 8 - 9 = 0
12 - 12 = 0
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!! :)
You're welcome.
