Question

$$17+6P=9$$

Solve for P

$P = -\frac{4}{3} = -1\frac{1}{3} \approx -1.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $17$ from both sides.

$$6P=9-17$$

Subtract $17$ from $9$ to get $-8$.

$$6P=-8$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$P=\frac{-8}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-8}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$P=-\frac{4}{3}$$
