Question

Solve for p.
9(p − 4) = −18

p =

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is p = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Divide both sides by 9.

$p - 4 = - \frac{18}{9}$

2) Simplify 18/9 to 2.

$p - 4 = - 2$

3) Add 4 to both sides.

$p = - 2 + 4$

4) Simplify -2 + 4 to 2.

$p = 2$

Therefor, the answer is p = 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

p =2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4) =-18

9p-36=-18

9p = -18 +36

9p = 18
