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
Yes, it's correct.
You can prove it by substituting 4 for p in the original problem.
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
Multiply 2 * 4. The expression 2p means 2 times p.
p-3+2p-9=0
4 - 3 + 8 - 9 = 0
12 - 12 = 0
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!!!! :)
You're welcome.
To determine if the given answer is correct, let's solve the equation step by step:
1. Start with the original equation: p - 3 + 2p - 9 = 0
2. Combine like terms: p + 2p - 3 - 9 = 0
Simplifying gives us: 3p - 12 = 0
3. Add 12 to both sides of the equation: 3p - 12 + 12 = 0 + 12
This becomes: 3p = 12
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for p: 3p/3 = 12/3
Simplifying gives us: p = 4
So, based on the provided steps, the answer p = 4 is correct.
