Answer:
p = 3.6666(repeating)
Explanation:
3/5(p-3)=-4
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/5(p-3)=-4
Simplifying:
+ 0.6*(p-3)=-4
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+( + 0.6p-1.8)=-4
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+ 0.6p-1.8=-4
We move all terms containing p to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.6p=-4+1.8
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.6p=-2.2
We divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 to get p.
p=-3.66666666667
