Answer:

-5

Explanation:

carry the one over to the right side and subtract it to get an amount of -10.

then carry the -4p to the left and add it with -2p. which comes out to be 2p

now the equation reads as 2p=-10

continue to divide 2 to get p alone and divide -10 by 2 as well.

now p=-5 because a negative divided by a postive is a negative.
