Consider the equation 3p – 7 + p = 13. what is the resulting equation after the first step in the solution? p – 7 = 13 – 3p 2p – 7 = 13 3p – 7 = 13 – p 4p – 7 = 13

For this case we have the following equation:

The first step we must take is to add common terms to the left side of the equation, that is:

Thus, the equation after the first step is

Option D

Last option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation in order to find the value of the variable "p" it is necessary to solve for "p".

In this case, the first step to solve for the variable "p" from the given equation is to add the like terms on the left side of the equation.

You can observe that the like terms are:

  and

Therefore, the resulting equation is the following:

add 5 subtract 1
