The **correct **answer for the value of p in p − 1 = 5 p + 3 p − 8 is 1.
Given equation ,
p − 1 = 5 p + 3 p − 8
To simplify the equation , Rearrange or Isolate the terms containing p on one side of the equation.
Simplify :
p − 1 = 8 p − 8
**Subtract ** − 8 p from both side of the equation:
p − 1 − 8 p = 8 p − 8 p − 8
Simplify :
− 7 p − 1 = − 8
**Add ** + 8 on both side of the equation:
− 7 p − 1 + 8 = − 8 + 8
− 7 p + 7 = 0
**Isolate ** p :
− 7 p = − 7
**Divide **by -7 on both side:
− 7 − 7 p ​ = − 7 − 7 ​
p = 1
The **simplified **form of p − 1 = 5 p + 3 p − 8 is 1.
