Question

How do i solve 9+-2p=25

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

To solve for the equation, you are looking to solve for the p's value. Our goal is to isolate p by itself.

9+-2p=25

Subtract 9 from both sides.

-2p=25-9

-2p=16

Divide both sides by -2 (to isolate p by itself).

-2p/-2 = 16/-2

p = -8

Answer 2

p = -8

Explanation:

9+-2p=25

Subtract 9 from each side

9+-2p-9=25-9

-2p = 16

Divide each side by -2

-2p/-2 = 16/-2

p = -8
