Question 164432


{{{-6p-5=-9+8p}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6p=-9+8p+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{-6p-8p=-9+5}}} Subtract {{{8p}}} from both sides.



{{{-14p=-9+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-14p=-4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(-4)/(-14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-14}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=2/7}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{p=2/7}}} which approximates to {{{p=0.286}}}.
