Question

I need help. I don't understand this question.

Answer 1

Add 4 to both sides:
-9 + 4 = - p/5

Simplify -9 + 4 to -5:
-5 = - p/5

Multiply both sides by 5:
-5 x 5 = -p

Simplify -5 x 5 = -p:
-25 = -p

Multiply both sides by -1:
25 = p

Switch sides:
p = 25

Answer 2

p=25

Explanation:

-5[-9=-
`(p)/(5)` -4] Get rid of the fraction by multiplying the whole equation by -5.

45=p+20 Then, subtract 20 from both sides.

25=p
