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

22
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.
