Question 14749
To solve any equation, you need to follow basic rules:


1.  Get everything with the variable on one side of the equal sign and everything without a variable on the other side.  In this equation, you would move -0.5 to the right side of the equal sign:  {{{(p/-7) = 1.8}}}

2.  Solve for the variable.  In this equation, you need to multiply by -7 on both sides to get {{{p = -12.6}}}.
