125-(-p)=88 [A negative X a negative = positive, when you drop the parenthesis]
\n" ); document.write( "125+p=88 [Solve or isolate the p]
\n" ); document.write( "125-125+p=88-125
\n" ); document.write( "p=-37
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check by plugging (p=-37) back into the original equation.
\n" ); document.write( "125-(-(-37)=88
\n" ); document.write( "88=88
\n" ); document.write( "
