Steps for Solving Linear Equation: 20−9=5p+12

--

Subtract 9 from 20 to get 11.

$11=5p+12$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$5p+12=11$

Subtract 12 from both sides.

$5p=11-12$

Subtract 12 from 11 to get −1.

$5p=1$

Divide both sides by 5.

$p=5-1$

Fraction 5−1​≈−0.2 can be rewritten as −51​=−0.2 by extracting the negative sign.

$p=-51$
