Step 1:

Simplify - 47/5

Equation at the end of step 1:

14 47
(0 - (—— • (p + 2))) + ——
10 5

Step 2:

Simplify : 7/5

Equation at the end of step 2:

7 47
(0 - (— • (p + 2))) + ——
5 5

Step 3 (re-writing + adjusting the equation) :

7 • (p + 2) 47
(0 - ———————————) + ——
5 5

Step 4 ( Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible):

-7 • (p+2) + 47
———————— =
5

33 - 7p
———————
5

As a decimal : 5.2

Hope I’ve helped
