Question

132=-6+3(1-5p) solve the equation

Answer 1

p=-9

Explanation:

132=-6+3 (1-5p)

-6+3 (1-5p)=132

-6+3 (1-5p)+6=132+6

3(1-5p)=138

3(1-5p)/3=138/3

1-5p=46

1-5p-1=46-1

-5p=45

p=-9

Answer 2

`p = -9\\`

Explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

`132 = -6 + 3(1 - 5p)`

`132 = -6 + (3 * 1) + (3 * -5p)`

`132 = -6 + 3 - 15p`

Step 2: Combine like terms

`132 = (-6 + 3) - 15p`

`132 = -3 - 15p`

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides

`132 + 3 = -3 - 15p + 3`

`135 = -15p`

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15

`135 / -15 = -15p / -15`

`-9 = p`

Answer:
`p = -9\\`
