Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

$3p + p - 7 = 13$

Step2: Simplify the like terms

$4p - 7 = 13$

Answer:

4p - 7 = 13
