<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
•
p =
- 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
