Answer:
p = [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
change the mixed number to an improper fraction
- 2 [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{15}{7}[/tex], hence
- [tex]\frac{15}{7}[/tex] p = - 3 ( multiply both sides by 7 )
- 15p = - 21 ( divide both sides by - 15 )
p = [tex]\frac{-21}{-15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]
