Question

How do you solve this equation -(2p+2)=-2-4p

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2p+2=−2−4p

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2p+2=−2−4p

2p+2=−2+−4p

2p+2=−4p−2

Step 2: Add 4p to both sides.

2p+2+4p=−4p−2+4p

6p+2=−2

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

6p+2−2=−2−2

6p=−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

6p/6 =−4/6

p= −2/3

Answer is p=-2/3
