Question

2. Solve: 2p+4= - 50

Answer 1

2p + 4= -50

=> 2p = -50-4

=> 2p = -54

=> p = -54/2

=> p = -27

Answer 2

Answer: p=-27

explanation: subtract 4 from both sides,
(4+(-4)) cancels out so you do (-50(-4)) which gives you (-54). Your equation should look like 2p=-54, then you divide 2 from both sides, 2p divided by 2, leaving the “p” variable by itself, while you also divide -54 by 2, which leave you with the final answer: p=-27
