How do you solve: -10p + 8 = 7p + 12? and 32 - 3/8y = 3/4y + 5?

Need help for homework. If I can get these two, I can finish all the other problems. Need to show "how" you get the answer.

Solutions :

- 10p + 8 = 7p + 12
- 10p - 7p = 12 - 8
- 17p = 4
p = 4/-17
p = - 4/17 (Answer)
p = - 0.235


32 - 3/8y = 3/4y + 5
- 3/8y - 3/4y = 5 - 32
- y(3/8 + 3/4) = - 27
- y(3 + 6)/8 = - 27
- y(9/8) = - 27
- y = (- 27 x 8)/9
- y = - 216/9
- y = - 24
y = 24 (Answer)

You have to move the variables to one side, and the numbers to the other.

-10p+8=7p+12 The equation
+10p-----+10p Adding 10p to both sides to eliminate the -10p

8=17p+12 Subtract 12 from both sides to elminiate the 12
-12...... -12

-4=17p

divide by 17 on both sides to find p

-4/17=p

1)
-10p + 8 = 7p + 12
-10p - 7p = -8 + 12
-17p = 4
p = 4/-17
p = -4/17

2)
32 - 3/8(y) = 3/4(y) + 5
32 - 3y/8 = 3y/4 + 5
-3y/4 - 3y/8 = -32 + 5
-6y/8 - 3y/8 = -27
-9y/8 = -27
9y = 216
y = 216/9
y = 24

-10p + 8 = 7p + 12
Rearrange ps on one side and the constants numbers on the other side of the equation giving -10p -7p =12 -8 which simplifies as -17p=4 giving x= -4/17.

similarly for the second equation
32 - 3/8y = 3/4y + 5
or - 3/8y - 3/4y = 5 -32
or -9/8y= -27
or y = (-27).(-8/9)
or y=24

Solution:

1. -10p + 8 = 7p + 12

First arrange the terms i.e. bring all the 'p' terms to one side and the constants to other side of the equation

So,

-10p - 7p = 12 - 8

-17p = 4

p = 4/-17 (or) p = -4/17


2. 32 - 3/8y = 3/4y + 5

Here also, first bring the terms with 'y ' to one side and the constants to the other side of the equation

So,

-3/8 y -3/4 y = 5 - 32

Take the LCM for 8,4 LCM = 8

(-3 -6)/8 y = -27

-9/8 y = -27

y =( -27 x 8 ) / -9

y = 216/9

y =24
2009-04-16 5:15 pm
32-3/8y=3/4y +5
32-5=3/4y + 3/8y
27=9/8y
27x 8/9 = y
y=24

k ill show u the steps:
-10p+8=7p+12 (u move 10p to the other side and 12 to the other side so u can have like terms on both sides)
the result is this:
-12+8=7p+10p (simple math)
result:
-4=17p (division to find p)
result:
-4/17=p (Answer)

2nd q:
32 - 3/8y = 3/4y + 5 (same as 1st step of 1st q)
result:
32 - 5 = 3/4y + 3/8y (u subtract on 1st side, on the 2nd side u make the same denominator, so u multiply 3/4y by 2)
result:
27 = 6/8y + 3/8y (add on 2nd side)
27 = 9/8y (u multiply both sides by 8 to remove the denominator)
216=9y (division)
24=y (answer)

-10p + 8 = 7p + 12
first bring 7p to the left n +8 to the right (rmb to change their symbols)

-10p - 7p = 12 - 8
so it will turn out to be

-17p = -4

and the answer is p = 4/14 (-4/-14 becomes positive)


32-3/8y = 3/4y +5
first move all the number with unknown to the left and numbers ONLY to the right

-3/8y-3/4y = 5 - 32
-3/8y - 3/4y = -27
make it the same by mutiplying the whole equation with 8

-3y - 6y = -216
now u can complete it =)

-9y=-216
y=-216/-9
so y = 24

Put the variable on one side and the constants on the other. It doesn't matter which side.
-10p + 8 = 7p + 12
Subtract 7p from both sides so all the p's are on one side
-10p -7p + 8 = 7p + 12 - 7p = 12
-17p + 8 = 12
Now subtract 8 from both sides so the constants are on the right
-17p + 8 - 8 = 12 - 8
-17p = 4
Now you can divide both sides by -17
-17p/(-17) = 4/(-17)
p = -4/17
or if you prefer, do it in two steps, dividing by +17 first
-17p/17 = 4/17
-p = 4/17
p = -4/17

The second problem is done the same way but you will have to work with fractions, subtracting (3/8)y from (3/4)y.

-10p-7p = -8 +12
-17p = 4
p= (-4/17)
