Question

−5(p+ 53)=−4 csn someone solve for p

Answer 1

p = -52.2

Step by-step explanation:

• Distribute the -5 on the left side of the equation:

-5p - 5 * 53 = -4

• Simplify the multiplication:

-5p - 265 = -4

• Add 265 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with -5p:

-5p = 261

• Finally, divide both sides by -5 to solve for p:

p = 261 / -5

p = -52.2

Answer 2

p =-52.2

Explanation:

−5(p+ 53)=−4

Distribute -5.

−5p-265=−4

Add 265 to each side.

-5p-265+265 = -4+265

-5p = 261

Divide each side by -5

-5p/-5 = 261/-5

p =-52.2
