Question

What is the solution to the equation shown below ?
6=-2/5 ( p-5)

Answer 1

p=-10

Explanation:

6=-2(p-5)/5

6=-2p+10/5

x5 to both sides to get rid of denominator

30=-2p+10

-10 from both sides to get rid of it on the right

20=-2p

divide by -2 from both sides to get p by itself to know its value

20/-2=-10 so....

p=-10

Answer 2

There is no solution for that equation
