Solve for p.

–5.7p = –14.82 − 7p

p = -11.4

Step-by-step explanation: –5.7p = –14.82 − 7p

                                             –5.7p = –14.82 + − 7p

                                             –5.7p = -7p - 14.82

                                             –5.7p + 7p = -7p - 14.82 + 7p

                                             1.3p = -14.82

                                             1.3p/1.3 = -14.82/1.3

                                             p = -11.4

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
