Answer» SIMPLIFYING 3p + -4r + 7p + -2r = 0 REORDER the terms: 3p + 7p + -4r + -2r = 0 Combine LIKE terms: 3p + 7p = 10p 10p + -4r + -2r = 0 Combine like terms: -4r + -2r = -6r 10p + -6r = 0 Solving 10p + -6r = 0 Solving for VARIABLE 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '6r' to each side of the equation. 10p + -6r + 6r = 0 + 6r Combine like terms: -6r + 6r = 0 10p + 0 = 0 + 6r 10p = 0 + 6r Remove the zero: 10p = 6r Divide each side by '10'. p = 0.6r Simplifying p = 0.6r Simplifying -7p + -7p = 0 Combine like terms: -7p + -7p = -14p -14p = 0 Solving -14p = 0 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Divide each side by '-14'. p = 0 Simplifying p = 0 |
