24 + 8p = – 8(5 + 3p)

Sagot :

Answer:

p= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

24+8p= -40-24p

32p= -64

p= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

24 + 8p = -8(5+ 3p)       Original Problem

24 + 8p = -8(5) + -8(3p)   Distributive property

24 + 8p = -40 - 24p       Simplification

24 + 8p - 24 = -40 - 24p -24     Grouping the constants

8p = -64 - 24p                 Simplification

8p + 24p = -64 -24p +24p   Grouping the variables

32p = -64                          Simplification

32p/32 = -64/32               Isolating the variable

p = -2                                 The Answer!!!!

I hope this helps!!!
