P minus 1 equals 5 p plus 3 p minus 8

p -1 = 5p + 3p -8

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

p -1 = 5p + 3p -8

Combine like terms

p-1 = 8p -8

Subtract p from each side

p-1-p = 8p-p -8

-1 = 7p -8

Add 8 to each side

-1 +8 =7p-8+8

7 = 7p

Divide by 7

7/7 = 7p/7

1 =p

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
