Question

The diffrence between an integer p and (-5) is 1 find the value of p ​

Answer 1

Solution:

Note that:

• Given sentence: The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.

Let's reread the sentence carefully.

The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.

• => p - (-5) = 1

Change the sign.

• p - (-5) = 1
• => p + 5 = 1

Subtract 5 both sides:

• p + 5 = 1
• => p + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5
• => p = -4
