What is the value of p? 10p+5=18p–62
a.-8
b.1/8
c.4
d.8

Option D is correct

The value of p is 8

Explanation:

Given:   10p +5 = 18p-62             ......[1]

Subtraction Property of equality states that you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation.

Subtract 10p from both sides of an equation [1]

Simplify:

5 = 8p -62                      ......[2]

Addition Property of equality states that you add the same number from both sides of an equation.

Add 62 to both sides of an equation [2];

5+62 = 8p -62 +62

Simplify:

67 = 8p                            .....[3]

Division Property of equality states that you divide the same number from both sides of an equation.

Divide by 8 in equation [3] ;

Simplify;

p = 8.375 ≈ 8 (approx)

Therefore, the value of p is, 8
