Question

84=7(6+a) and -84= -6 (p + 6)

solving equations distribute once.

got them wrong so if you could show your work with this it will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

84= 7(6+a)
84= 42 +7a
84-42= 42-42 +7a
42= 7a
42/7= 7a/7
6= a

-84= -6( p+6)
-84= -6p -36
-84+36= -6p -36+36
-48= -6p
-48/-6= -6p/-6
8 =p
