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) in the equation (3p - 7 + p=13). (3p + p-7 = 13) ((3 + 1)p-7=13)

Step2: Simplify the coefficient

(4p-7 = 13)

Answer:

(4p - 7 = 13) (the fourth option)
