This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.
B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation
2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution
2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication
-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides
[tex]\frac{-13}{2}[/tex] = p # Divide both sides from 2
p = [tex]\frac{-13}{2}[/tex] # Use the reflexive property of equality
Hope this helps!
Answer:
-13/2 = p
Step-by-step explanation:
B = 3m + 2p
Let B =2 and m=5
2 = 3(5)+2p
2 = 15+2p
2-15 = 2p
-13 = 2p
Divide by 2
-13/2 = p
