Question

Solve the linear equation:
$2(p+8)-p=p+8\times 2$.

• A. $8$
• B. $-8$
• C. No solution
• D. All real numbers

Answer 1

The correct option is D All real numbers

Given, $2(p+8)-p=p+8\times 2$

$⟹2\times p+2\times 8-p=p+16$ ...[By Distribution Law]

$⟹2p+16-p=p+16$

$⟹p+16=p+16$, which is true for all real numbers.

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
