Question

Please help (pre algebra)

Answer 1

The answer is
P=1.2

Answer 2

Final answer: 6/5

SOLUTION

• -4 = 5(p -2)

 -4 = (5)(p) + (5)(-2)   • Distribute

 -4 = 5p + (-10)

 -4 = 5p - 10

• 5p - 10 = -4

• 5p - 10 + 10 = -4 + 10

  5p = 6

• $\frac{5p}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

  p = $\frac{6}{5}$

• simplify both sides of the equation
• flip the equation
• add 10 to both sides
• divide both sides by 5
• we would be getting the final answer of 6/5
