(Evaluating Equations MC)
Determine which answer in the solution set will make the equation true.
\[
\begin{array}{l}
2 p+9=4 p-13 \\
S:\{-11,0,11,22\}
\end{array}
\]

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the equation for p
We start with the equation:
2p+9=4p−13
Subtract 2p from both sides to isolate the terms involving p:
9=2p−13
Step 2: Solve for p
Add 13 to both sides to isolate the term with p:
22=2p
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for p:
p=11
Step 3: Check the solution set
The solution set S is given as {−11,0,11,22}. From the calculation above, we find that p=11 is the solution that satisfies the equation.
