SOLUTION: Please help me solve: 16= 5|p|-4 I have already done: 5p-4= 16 then I subtracted 4 to each side 5p=20

Question 106321This question is from textbook Prentice Hall Mathematics- Algebra 1
: Please help me solve: 16= 5|p|-4
I have already done: 5p-4= 16
then I subtracted 4 to each side
5p=20
5p divided by 5 then on the other side, 20 divided by 5
p=4
I need to find the second answer, and I am supposed to have the opposite of 5p-4=16

That's the value when p>0, because then

Now solve for when p<0, because then

Substitute and solve like you did previously to get the second solution.
