7.4p+-5.3-9.2p=-26
Simplify
7.4p + -5.3 + -9.2p = -26
Reorder the terms:
-5.3 + 7.4p + -9.2p = -26
Combine like terms: 7.4p + -9.2p = -1.8p
-5.3 + -1.8p = -26
Solve
-5.3 + -1.8p = -26
Solve for variable (p)
Move all terms containing (p) to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add (5.3) to each side of the equation.
-5.3 + 5.3 + -1.8p = -26 + 5.3
Combine like terms: -5.3 + 5.3 = 0
0.0 + -1.8p = -26 + 5.3
-1.8p = -26 + 5.3
Combine like terms: -26 + 5.3 = -20.7
-1.8p = -20.7
Divide each side by (-1.8)
p = 11.5
Simplify
p = 11.5
