Hey there Miyanna!

Algebraic Question::

**Question: 3p - 2 = -29**

Explanation:

We have to find the number furthest away from the variable "p" (not include the -29) That would be 2!

So we put the number 2 next to the -29 and make the operation a "+" as it has become opposite, prior to its operation before.

So, -29 + 2 = -27

The next number furthest away from "p" would be 3!

So we drag that down to -27 and divide it as it's operation has become opposite:

-27 / 3 = -9!

**Answer: -9

Hope this helped :)
