what is the value of p in the linear equation ?

−4
−2
2
4

p=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

24p+12-18p=10+2p-6  

Subtract what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation.

24p+12-18p-(10+2p-6)=0

Then pull out the like terms(factors)

Which is: 4p+8

=4(p+2)

Put that to 0 and 4=0 which is not a solution because it's a non-zero constant.

So now put  p+2=0, subtract by 2 on both sides and the 2 cancels out and on the right side you have -2

p=-2

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation: just took the test

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
