Question

Solve the equation 2p/3-12=-2

Answer 1

Hey there! 

$\frac{2p}{3} - 12 = -2$

Firstly, we are going add $12$ on each of the sides that we're working with. like ↓ 

$p - 12 + 12 \\ \\ = -2 + 12$

This gives us $\frac{2}{3}p = 10$ (if you are wondering how we got the out come of $10$ it is because I added $-2 + 12 = 10$

Now multiply $\frac{3}{2}$ on each of your sides 

$\frac{3}{2} ( \frac{2}{3}p) \\ \\ = \frac{3}{2} (10)$

Cancel the first set and you will find the value of $p$

$p = 15$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
