Question

What is the solution of the equation 2 = op – 8 5p? O p = -10 Op=-6 Op=2 O p = 10

Answer 1

To solve the equation, first, add similar terms

$\begin{gathered} 2=6p-8-5p \\ 2=p-8 \end{gathered}$

Now add 8 to both sides of the equation

$\begin{gathered} 2+8=p-8+8 \\ 10=p \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution of the equation is p = 10 and the correct answer is D.
