Answer:

Explanation:

2.

Step where it was wrong ->

x-8 = 0

x=-8

They just put negative eight on the right side you have to cancel negative 8 out by adding negative 8 on both sides.

x-8=0

+8 +8

x=8 <- Right solution.

3.

Step where it was wrong ->

8(p-7) = 75

8p-7=75

Distributive Property you have to do 8 times p and 8 times -7, they just did 8 times p and forgot to do 8 times -7.

8(p-7)=75

8p-56=75 <- Do 8 * -7 in addition of doing 8 *p

8p=131

/8 /8

p = 16.735 or 131/8
