Question

8) 7(p-6)= 8p - 34
any chance i can get the steps on how to solve this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7(p-6)=8p-34

Distribute 7 into the parentheses on the Left Hand Side of the equation

7p-42=8p-34

get p together, so minus 7p on both sides

7p-7p-42=8p-7p-34

7p and -7p cancel out on L.H.S

-42=p-34

isolate p by adding 34 to both sides

-42+34=p-34+34

-34 and postitive 34 cancel out on the R.H.S

p=-8

Hope this helps! :)
