Question

A: 17
B: 7
C: -21
D: 15

Answer 1

p - 15

Explanation:

What is p, if:

2p

----- - 12 = -2 ?

3

Let's simplify this equation first. Add 12 to both sides, obtaining:

2p

----- = 10

3

Next, multiply both sides by 3 to remove the fraction:

2p = 30

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to obtain p:

p = 15
