Answer:
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
