Answer:
p = -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9 + -4(2p + -1) = 41
Reorder the terms:
9 + -4(-1 + 2p) = 41
9 + (-1 * -4 + 2p * -4) = 41
9 + (4 + -8p) = 41
Combine like terms: 9 + 4 = 13
13 + -8p = 41
Solving
13 + -8p = 41
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + -8p = 41 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + -8p = 41 + -13
-8p = 41 + -13
Combine like terms: 41 + -13 = 28
-8p = 28
Divide each side by '-8'.
p = -3.5
Simplifying
p = -3.5
Answer:
it looks like its negative 2
