Answer:
0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
First, remove the 1/8 by subtracting 1/8 on both sides
-3p = -3/8
Then, isolate the variable by diving each side by -3
p = 0.125
p = 3/24
-3p + 1/8 = -1/4
-3p = -1/8 - 2/8
-3p/3 = -3/8 ÷ 3
-p = -3/8 x 1/3
-p = -3/24
-p/-1 = -3/24/-1
Check:
-3(3/24) + 1/8 = -1/4
-9/24 + 1/8 = -1/4
-3/8 + 1/8 = -1/4
-2/8 = -1/4
-1/4 = -1/4
