Question

Simplify the expression.
4p + 12 – 6p + 6

Answers

  2. Answer:

    p = 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Simplifying

    4p = 6p + -12

    Reorder the terms:

    4p = -12 + 6p

    Solving

    4p = -12 + 6p

    Solving for variable ‘p’.

    Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add ‘-6p’ to each side of the equation.

    4p + -6p = -12 + 6p + -6p

    Combine like terms: 4p + -6p = -2p

    -2p = -12 + 6p + -6p

    Combine like terms: 6p + -6p = 0

    -2p = -12 + 0

    -2p = -12

    Divide each side by ‘-2’.

    p = 6

    Simplifying

    p = 6
