<h3>Final answer: 6/5</h3>

<u />

<u>SOLUTION</u>

• -4 = 5(p -2)

-4 = (5)(p) + (5)(-2) • Distribute

-4 = 5p + (-10)

-4 = 5p - 10

• 5p - 10 = -4

• 5p - 10 + 10 = -4 + 10

5p = 6

• $\frac{5p}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

p = $\frac{6}{5}$

simplify both sides of the equation
flip the equation
add 10 to both sides
divide both sides by 5
we would be getting the final answer of 6/5

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:

Addition:

$a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =5\times 10^3$
