Question

-6(p+8)=36

Algebra two step equation

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of p = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$-6\left(p+8\right)=36$

Divide both sides by -6

$\frac{-6\left(p+8\right)}{-6}=\frac{36}{-6}$

simplify

$p+8=-6$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$p+8-8=-6-8$

simplify

$p=-14$

Therefore,

The value of p = -14
