What is the value of p in the equation 4p 3(p 4) = 12p 12? 12 1 0 −1

Option (3) is correct.

p = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation

We have to simplify for p and choose the correct option from the given options.

Consider the given equation

Expand brackets by multiplying 3 with each term of bracket, we have,

Thus, given equation becomes,

Add similar terms, 4p and 3p, we have,

Subtract 12 from both sides, we have,

Simplify, we have,

Subtract 12p both sides, we have,

Simplify,

-5p = 0

This implies p = 0

Thus, option (3) is correct.
