Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Given;
-3p + 1/8 = -1/4
Simplify it to get the value of"p".
[tex] - 3p + \frac{1}{8} = - \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{ - 24p + 1}{8} = \frac{ - 1}{4} [/tex]
[tex] 4(- 24p + 1) = - 1 \times 8[/tex]
[tex] - 96p + 4 = - 8[/tex]
[tex] - 96p = - 8 - 4[/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{ - 12}{ - 96} [/tex]
[tex]p = \frac{ 1}{8} [/tex]
Therefore, p = 1/8.
Check:
-3*1/8 +1/8 = -1/4
-3/8+1/8= -1/4
-1/4 = -1/4
Therefore, the value of "p" must be (1/8) to satisfy the equation.
Hope it helps...
