Answer 1

Answer:

p = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-18+p}{2} =-2$

1st, we should get rid of the denominator by multiplying 2 on both sides

$\frac{-18+p}{2}*2 =-2*2\\\\-18+p=-4$

Then, we just add 18 on both sides to isolate p

$-18+18+p=-4+18\\p=14$

p = 14

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle \frac{-18 + p}{2} = -2$

Step 2: Solve for p

1. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides:                    $\displaystyle -18 + p = -4$
2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 18 on both sides:                               $\displaystyle p = 14$
