We need to get rid of expression parentheses.
If there is a negative sign in front of it,
each term within the expression changes sign.
Otherwise, the expression remains unchanged.
Numerical 'like' terms will be added. There is only one group of like terms
the answer is: ab-4a-5

You have to get the x to one side so you'll subtract 3x from -6x and 3x from 3x, the 3x will cancel out and -6x - 3x is -9x-7=11, you have to add 7 from both sides the 7+7 cancels out and also add 11+7 which leaves -9x=18, you have to divide -9x/-9 and do 18/-9, which gets you x=-2. Here's the work shown if you didn't what i said...
-6x-7=3x+11
-3x -3x
-9x-7=11
+7 +7
-9x=18
-9 -9
x=-2
I think p=4
How I solved it:
5(-2)+2p+2(-1)=2p
-10+2p+-2=2p So cross out last
-2p -2p 2p:)
= -10+2p+-2
+10 +10 Cross out the 10
= 2p=8
= divide both sides by 2p
= 2p/2= 8/2
= cross out the 2.
= which leaves
= p=4 we get 4 because we divide 8 to 2:)
I don’t know if I’m right but yea...
