Simplify the equation:
\[ 10p - 2(3p - 6) = 4(5p - 6) - 10p \]
Answer (2)
10 p − 2 ( 3 p − 6 ) = 4 ( 5 p − 6 ) − 10 p ∣ o mi t in g b r a c k e t s 10 p − 6 p + 12 = 20 p − 24 − 10 p 4 p + 12 = 10 p − 24 ∣ s u b t r a c t 10 p − 6 p + 12 = − 24 ∣ s u b t r a c t 12 − 6 p = − 36 ∣ d i v i d e b y − 6 p = 6 S o l u t i o n i s p = 6.
The equation simplifies down to p = 6 through distribution and isolating the variable. After expanding and combining like terms, we solve for p step-by-step. The final answer is p = 6 .
