Question

−4p+9=−5


Plzzzzzzz help

Answer 1

p = 3.5

Explanation:

What you would do to get p is subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to leave the number and p, THEN divide both sides by the numerator of -4.

-4p + 9 = -5

- 9 -9

__________

-4p = -14

__ __

-4 -4

Thus, p = 3.5

Answer 2

p = 3.5 or p = 7/2

Explanation:

-4p+9= -5

or, -4p = - 14

or, p = -14/-4

or, p = 7/2 = 3.5
