8-3p-4 = 2p 4 - 3p = 2p add 3p to both sides 4 = 5p divide both sides by 5 4/5 = p
If you mean: 7p-3p+4-2 = 2p-1+10 => 4p+2 = 2p+9 => 2p = 7 Therefore: p = 7/2 => p = 3.5
In 3 years Alex will be 3 times as old as his sister Precy (is now): a+3 = 3p a = 3p-3 A year ago Ales was 2 times as old as Precy (is now): a-1 = 2p a = 2p+1 3p-3 = 2p +1 3p = 2p +4 p = 4 Precy is 4 a = 2p + 1 or 3p - 3 a = 8 +1 or 12 - 3 = 9 Alex is 9
To find the value of p, simply use addition, subtraction and division to isolate p: 5p -1 = 2p + 20 5p - 2p - 1 = 2p - 2p + 20 3p - 1 + 1 = 20 + 1 3p/3 = 21/3 p = 7 The value of p is 7.
-1P-6Q-4 would be the answer if the space between the 3P and the second 3Q is another subtraction symbol.
