Question

-4.6p-6.3p+3.9=-9.18

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{p = 1.2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Solve \: for \: p: \\ = > -4.6p - 6.3p+3.9=-9.18 \\ \\ -4.6p-6.3p=-10.9p: \\ = > - 10.9p +3.9=-9.18 \\ \\ Subtract 3.9 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ = > (3.9-3.9)-10.9p=-3.9-9.18 \\ \\3.9-3.9=0: \\ = > - 10.9p =-3.9-9.18 \\ \\ -3.9-9.18 = -13.08: \\ = > - 10.9p = - 13.08 \\ \\ Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: - 10.9 p = - 13.08 \: by \: - 10.9: \\ = > \frac{ \cancel{ - 10.9}p}{ \cancel{- 10.9}} = \frac{ - 13.08}{ - 10.9} \\ \\ \frac{ - 10.9}{ - 10.9} = 1: \\ = > p = \frac{ \cancel{- }13.08}{ \cancel{- }10.9} \\ \\ \frac{13.08}{10.9} = 1.2: \\ = > p = 1.2$

Answer 2

Answer:

−4.6p−6.3p+3.9=−9.18

−4.6p+−6.3p+3.9=−9.18

(−4.6p+−6.3p)+(3.9)=−9.18(Combine Like Terms)

−10.9p+3.9=−9.18

−10.9p+3.9=−9.18

Step 2: Subtract 3.9 from both sides.

−10.9p+3.9−3.9=−9.18−3.9

−10.9p=−13.08

Step 3: Divide both sides by -10.9.

−10.9p

−10.9

=

−13.08

−10.9

p=1.2
