consider the equation 3p - 7 + p = 13. what is the resulting equation after the first step in the solution?\n p - 7 = 13 - 3p\n 2p - 7 = 13\n 3p - 7 = 13 - p\n 4p - 7 = 13

consider the equation 3p - 7 + p = 13. what is the resulting equation after the first step in the solution?\n p - 7 = 13 - 3p\n 2p - 7 = 13\n 3p - 7 = 13 - p\n 4p - 7 = 13

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms

Combine (3p) and (p) on the left - hand side of the equation (3p - 7 + p=13). Since (3p + p=(3 + 1)p = 4p), the resulting equation is (4p-7 = 13).

Answer:

D. (4p - 7 = 13)
