Question

Which of the following algebraic steps will solve the equation 5p= -35 and what is the solution

Answer 1

p=-7

Explanation:

5p=-35

Divide both sides by 5

5p/5 =-35/5

therefore p=-7

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\textsf{5p= -35}\\\\\underline{\huge\text{DIVIDE 5 BOTH SIDES}}\\\\\mathsf{(5p)/(5p)= (-35)/(5)}\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }(5)/(5)\large\text{ because that gives you 1}\\\large\text{KEEP: }(-35)/(5)\large\text{ because that gives you the value of p.}\\\\\large\textsf{p = }\mathsf{(-35)/(5)}\\\\\mathsf{-35/5= p}\\\\\large\text{Simplify above and you have your result to the p-value.}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Therefore your answer is: \textsf{p = -7}}}}\huge\checkmark`
