Given:

16 = -2p - 18

To Find:

p = ?

Solution:

$\longrightarrow \: \: -16 = -2p -18$

Combining like terms:

$\longrightarrow \: \: - 2p = - 18 - 16$

Adding the numbers:

$\longrightarrow \: \: -2p = -34$

$\longrightarrow \: \: p = \dfrac{ - 34}{2}$

Dividing -terms that are in both the numerator and denominator:

$\longrightarrow \: \: p = - 17$

$\therefore$ Value of p is -17

Add 18 to both sides

16+18=2p

Simplify 16+18 to 34
34=2p

Divide both sides by 2
34/2=P

Simplify 34/2 to 17

17=P

Therefore your answer is
P=17

Answer:

Let be a rational complex number of the form $z = \frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}$ , we proceed to show the procedure of resolution by algebraic means:

1) $\frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d}$ Given.

2) $\frac{a + i\,b}{c + i\,d} \cdot 1$ Modulative property.

3) $\left(\frac{a+i\,b}{c + i\,d} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{c-i\,d}{c-i\,d} \right)$ Existence of additive inverse/Definition of division.

4) $\frac{(a+i\,b)\cdot (c - i\,d)}{(c+i\,d)\cdot (c - i\,d)}$ $\frac{x}{y}\cdot \frac{w}{z} = \frac{x\cdot w}{y\cdot z}$

5) $\frac{a\cdot (c-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot (c-i\,d)}{c\cdot (c-i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot (c-i\,d)}$ Distributive and commutative properties.

6) $\frac{a\cdot c + a\cdot (-i\,d) + (i\,b)\cdot c +(i\,b) \cdot (-i\,d)}{c^{2}-c\cdot (i\,d)+(i\,d)\cdot c+(i\,d)\cdot (-i\,d)}$ Distributive property.

7) $\frac{a\cdot c +i\,(-a\cdot d) + i\,(b\cdot c) +(-i^{2})\cdot (b\cdot d)}{c^{2}+i\,(c\cdot d)+[-i\,(c\cdot d)] +(-i^{2})\cdot d^{2}}$ Definition of power/Associative and commutative properties/ $x\cdot (-y) = -x\cdot y$ /Definition of subtraction.

8) $\frac{(a\cdot c + b\cdot d) +i\cdot (b\cdot c -a\cdot d)}{c^{2}+d^{2}}$ Definition of imaginary number/ $x\cdot (-y) = -x\cdot y$ /Definition of subtraction/Distributive, commutative, modulative and associative properties/Existence of additive inverse/Result.
