Question

Solve for p. 7 (p - 9) = -34.3

Answer 1

p=4.1

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7(p−9)=−34.3

(7)(p)+(7)(−9)=−34.3(Distribute)

7p+−63=−34.3

7p−63=−34.3

Step 2: Add 63 to both sides.

7p−63+63=−34.3+63

7p=28.7

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7p /7 = 28.7 /7

Answer 2

The answer is 253/10
