Question

Which would be used to solve this equation? Check all that apply.
p
- = 12
3
subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation
multiplying both sides of the equation by 3
dividing both sides of the equation by 3
substituting 4 for p to check the solution
substituting 36 for p to check the solution

Answer 1

Answer:

• multiplying both sides of the equation by 3
• substituting 36 for p to check the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To undo the division of p by 3, one multiplies by the inverse of 1/3. That is, one multiplies by 3.

Then you have ...

  3(p/3) = 3(12)

  p = 36 . . . . . simplify

To check this work, you can substitute 36 for p:

  36/3 = 12 . . . . . true statement

So, the solution process is ...

  multiply both sides of the equation by 3

  substitute 36 for p to check the work
