Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - 2p - 9 = - 8p[/tex]
[tex] - 2p + 8p = 9[/tex]
[tex]6p = 9[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{9}{6} [/tex]
or p=3/2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {p = 1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of [tex]p[/tex]:
[tex]-2(p + 3) = -8p[/tex]
-Use Distributive Property:
[tex]-2(p + 3) = -8p[/tex]
[tex]-2p - 6 = -8p[/tex]
-Take [tex]8p[/tex] and add it to [tex]-2p[/tex]:
[tex]-2p - 6 + 8p = -8p + 8p[/tex]
[tex]6p - 6 = 0[/tex]
-Add both sides by [tex]6[/tex]:
[tex]6p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6[/tex]
[tex]6p = 6[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]6[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{6p}{6} = \frac{6}{6}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {p = 1}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]p[/tex] is [tex]1[/tex].
