Given the equations:
2p + 3 = 7
3t + 10 = 16
Determine their values individually.
Solution:
In order to determine their value, we solve according to their variables. For 2p + 3 = 7 , we solve in terms of p, for 3t + 10 = 16, we solve in terms of t.
2p + 3 = 7
Transpose 3 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
2p + 3 = 7
2p = 7 -3
2p = 4
Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the value of p
2p/2 = 4/2
p = 2
3t + 10 = 16
Do the same process.
3t = 16 -10
3t = 6
3t/3 = 6/3
t = 2
Final answer: The values of p and t is 2.
