Question

consider the equation $3p - 7 + p = 13$. what is the resulting equation after the first step in the solution?\
$\circ$ $p - 7 = 13 - 3p$\
$\circ$ $2p - 7 = 13$\
$\circ$ $3p - 7 = 13 - p$\
$\circ$ $4p - 7 = 13$

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

$3p + p - 7 = 13$

Step2: Simplify the like terms

$4p - 7 = 13$

Answer:

D. $4p - 7 = 13$
