Question

-6(p+8)=36

Algebra two step equation

Answer 1

p = -14

Explanation:

-6 ( p + 8 ) = 36

Solve the brackets.

- 6p - 48 = 36

Add 48 to both sides.

- 6p = 36 + 48

- 6p = 84

Divide both sides by -6.

p = -14

Answer 2

The value of p = -14

Explanation:

Given the equation

`-6\left(p+8\right)=36`

Divide both sides by -6

`(-6\left(p+8\right))/(-6)=(36)/(-6)`

simplify

`p+8=-6`

Subtract 8 from both sides

`p+8-8=-6-8`

simplify

`p=-14`

Therefore,

The value of p = -14
