Question 260353


{{{9p+1=7p-9}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9p=7p-9-1}}} Subtract {{{1}}} from both sides.



{{{9p-7p=-9-1}}} Subtract {{{7p}}} from both sides.



{{{2p=-9-1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2p=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(-10)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=-5}}} Reduce.
