Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down the dissaccharide maltose into glucose molecules the reaction usually happens at ph between 6 and 7 what would happen if the ph were to decrease to 3

Maltase would not be able to function outside of its optimal pH range.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Reorder the terms:

8 + 6p + -4p = 3(p + 4)

Combine like terms: 6p + -4p = 2p

8 + 2p = 3(p + 4)

Reorder the terms:

8 + 2p = 3(4 + p)

8 + 2p = (4 * 3 + p * 3)

8 + 2p = (12 + 3p)

Solving

8 + 2p = 12 + 3p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.

8 + 2p + -3p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 2p + -3p = -1p

8 + -1p = 12 + 3p + -3p

Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0

8 + -1p = 12 + 0

8 + -1p = 12

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -1p = 12 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -1p = 12 + -8

-1p = 12 + -8
