20 points

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

4/6 - 3/6p=16/6

Multiply each side by 6

4 - 3p = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides

-3p = 12

Divide both sides by -3

p = -4

Answer 2

-4

Explanation:

Solving for 'p':

`\sf (4)/(6)-(3)/(6)p=(16)/(6)`

To find the value of 'p', isolate 'p',

`\sf (-3)/(6)p=(16)/(6)-(4)/(6)\\\\`

`\sf = (12)/(6)`

= 2

`\sf p = 2* (6)/(-3)\\\\ p = 2 *(-2)\\\\p = -4`
