equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "-6p-3=9
\n" ); document.write( "add 3 to both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "-6p=12
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the equation by -6 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "p=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when you add 3 to both sides of the equation, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "-6p-3+3=9+3
\n" ); document.write( "when you combine like terms, the -3 and the +3 on the left cancel out and you are left with:
\n" ); document.write( "-6p=12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when you divide both sides of the equation by -6, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "-6p/-6=12/-6
\n" ); document.write( "since -6/-6 = 1, and since 12/-6 = -2, you are left with:
\n" ); document.write( "p=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to confirm the answer is good, replace p in the original equation with -2 and see if the equation holds true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-6p-3=9 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "-6(-2)-3=9
\n" ); document.write( "since -6 * -2 = +12, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "+12-3=9
\n" ); document.write( "since +12 and -3 = +9, the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "9=9
\n" ); document.write( "the equation holds true so the answer is good.
\n" ); document.write( "p=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
