Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!Ms. Banerjee bought a car for $22,500. The amount she paid for her new car was twice the amount she paid for her previous car, which she bought 8 years ago. Which equation shows p, the price in dollars that she paid for her previous car? 22,500 = 2 p 2 (22,500) = p 22,500 = 2 p minus 8 2 (22,500) = p minus 8

Answer 1

22,500 =2p

Explanation:

Answer 2

22,500 =2p

Explanation:

Because the price of the new car is the price of the old car times 2.

22,500 =2p

First you get P alone. P is being multiplied by 2 so you divide it by 2 so it cancels out.

11250 = p

When you do something to one side of the equation you do the same to the other side so they are still equal to each other.
