Consider the following equation.

-16p + 37 = 49 -21p

Select the equation that has the same solution as the given equation.

A. -55 + 12p = 5p +16

B. -5 + 0.44p = 7- 1.25p

C. 2 + 1.25p = -3.75p + 10

D. -14 + 6p = -9 - 6p

Respuesta :

it's A for sure no doubt

Answer:

None has the same solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

[tex]-16p+37=49-21p[/tex]

Grouping the like terms together.

=>[tex]-16p+21p=49-37[/tex]

=>[tex]5p=12[/tex]

=>[tex]p=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

Now lets check which option has the same solution.

A.

[tex]-55+12p=5p+16[/tex]

=>[tex]12p-5p=55+16[/tex]

=>[tex]7p=71[/tex]

=> [tex]p=\frac{71}{7}[/tex]    (wrong answer)

B.

[tex]-5+0.44p=7-1.25p[/tex]

=> [tex]0.44p+1.25p=7+5[/tex]

=> [tex]1.69p=12[/tex]

=> [tex]p=\frac{12}{1.69}[/tex]         (wrong answer)

C.

[tex]2+1.25p=-3.75p+10[/tex]

=>[tex]1.25p+3.75p=10-2[/tex]

=>[tex]5p=8[/tex]

=> [tex]p=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]       (wrong answer)

D.

[tex]-14+6p=-9-6p[/tex]

[tex]6p+6p=-9+14[/tex]

[tex]12p=5[/tex]

[tex]p=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]      (wrong answer)

So, none is the answer. No equation has the same solution like the above given equation.
