Tap for more steps…

Subtract $4.5 p$ from both sides of the equation.

$4.05 p + 14.4 - 4.5 p = 13.5$

Subtract $4.5 p$ from $4.05 p$ .

$- 0.45 p + 14.4 = 13.5$

Move all terms not containing $p$ to the right side of the equation.

Tap for more steps…

Subtract $14.4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 0.45 p = 13.5 - 14.4$

Subtract $14.4$ from $13.5$ .

$- 0.45 p = - 0.9$

Divide each term by $- 0.45$ and simplify.

Tap for more steps…

Divide each term in $- 0.45 p = - 0.9$ by $- 0.45$ .

$\frac{- 0.45 p}{- 0.45} = \frac{- 0.9}{- 0.45}$

Cancel the common factor of $- 0.45$ .

$p = \frac{- 0.9}{- 0.45}$

Divide $- 0.9$ by $- 0.45$ .

$p = 2$

Solve for p 4.05*p+14.40=4.50(p+3)
