Question

20. -17 = 6р - 5 I need help?

Answer 1

30.16=7p and then add -5

Answer 2

Answer: -2 = p

Step-by-step explanation: Don't be thrown off if your variable p appears on the right side of the equation. Just solve for p in the usual way by first isolating the p term which in this case is 6p.

Since 5 is being subtracted from 6p, we start by adding 5 to both sides of the equation. On the left, -17 + 5 is -12 and

on the right, -5 + 5 cancels out.

So we have -12 = 6p.

To get p by itself since 6 is being multiplied by p, divide both sides of the equation by 6.

On the left -12 divided by 6 is -2 and on the right the p's cancel.

So -2 = p
