Answer:
p=+/- 5/3 or
p =+/- 1 2/3 or
p = +/- 1.66666667
Explanation:
Equation
What you have is a quadratic. I am taking the 9 to be a 9 and not a q. So the equation, as I read it, is
9p^2 - 9 = 16 Add 9 to both sides of the equation
Solution
-9+9 + 9p^2 = 16 +9 Combine
9p^2 = 25 Divide by 9
9 p^2 /9 = 25/9 Combine
√p^2 = √(25/9) Take the Square Root of both sides.
p = +/- 5/3
