Question

SOLVE FOR P!
2p − 10 = –2
P=

Answer 1

First step: Add 10 to both sides. -10 +10 = 0 -2+ 10 = 8

2p - 10 = -2
+10. +10

2p = 8

Second step: Divide two to both sides
2p/2 = p 8/4 = 2

Therefore, the answer is p = 2

Answer 2

2p - 10 = -2
Add ten on both sides
2p = 8
Divide 2 on both sides to isolate p
p = 4

p = 4
