Answer:

No, the answer is -18

Explanation:


(5)/(9)p = -10


(5p)/(9) = -10 CROSS MULTIPLY

-90=5p DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 5

-18 = p

Answer:

no i dont think so

Explanation:

1) multiply both sides by p

5/9=-10p

2) divide by -10 to get p

5/9 divided by -10/1

(keep, change flip)

5/9* -1/10

-5/90

therefore p=-5/90
