p-4=-9%2Bp Start with the given equation.


p=-9%2Bp%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


p-p=-9%2B4 Subtract p from both sides.


0p=-9%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


0p=-5 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-5 Simplify.


Since this equation is NEVER true for any p value, this means that there are no solutions.
