Solve the equations in two different ways:6p=0.6 (5p+15)

Step-by-step explanation:

1st way:

Solve directly

6p=0.6 (5p+15)

Open bracket

6p = 3p + 9

Collecting like terms

6p - 3p = 9

3p = 9

Dividing by 3

p = 9/3

p = 3

2nd way:

6p=0.6 (5p+15)

Convert the decimal to fraction

6p = 6/10 (5p+15)

6p = 3/5 (5p+15)

6p = 3/5 (5p) + 3/5 (15)

6p = 3p + 9

Collecting like terms

6p - 3p = 9

3p = 9

Dividing by 3

p = 9/3

p = 3
