Question

4p + 5 + p = 2p + 5 + 3p

P= -2
All real numbers
P = 2
P= 5

Answer 1

P = All real numbers

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4p + 5 + p = 2p + 5 + 3p

Step 2: Solve for p

1. Combine like terms: 5p + 5 = 5p + 5
2. Subtract 5 on both sides: 5p = 5p
3. Divide both sides by 5: p = p

Here we see that any value p would render the equation true. Therefore, we have an infinite amount of solutions.
