Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{5p= -35}\\\\\underline{\huge\text{DIVIDE 5 BOTH SIDES}}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{5p}{5p}= \dfrac{-35}{5}}\\\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\dfrac{5}{5}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}\\\large\text{KEEP: }\dfrac{-35}{5}\large\text{ because that gives you the value of p.}\\\\\large\textsf{p = }\mathsf{\dfrac{-35}{5}}\\\\\mathsf{-35\div5= p}\\\\\large\text{Simplify above and you have your result to the p-value.}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Therefore your answer is: \textsf{p = -7}}}}\huge\checkmark$
