p + 11 – 4p = 8

p =

Answer 1

p+ 11 -4p= 8
⇒ (p -4p)+11= 8 (combine like terms)
⇒ -3p= 8-11
⇒ -3p= -3
⇒ p= -3/(-3)
⇒ p= 1

Final answer: p=1~

Answer 2

Steps:

1) We have to keep the
`x`'s on one side. For simplification can only occur between
`x` with each other.

2) We have to keep the number on other side. Be careful that you do not simplify it with the
`x`.

Simply, group the like terms and simplify.

Methods:


`p+11–4p=8`

=>
`p–4p+11=8`

=>
`-3p+11=8`

=>
`-3p+11-11=8-11`

=>
`-3p=-3`

=>
`(-3p)/(-3)= (-3)/(-3)`

=>
`p=1`
