your answer is: -4p - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
first, ignore the -4p for now. do the small equation without the variable. SO, we would do 7 - 5 = 2.
there aren't any addition symbols being used in the equation and there aren't any other numbers with the p variable. this means that the -4p will stay the same. so we would end up with -4p - 2
(this isn't the normal way of solving this, but I did my own way and got the same answer)
