Question

$$-5p+4=-9$$

Solve for p

$p = \frac{13}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5} = 2.6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$-5p=-9-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $-9$ to get $-13$.

$$-5p=-13$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$p=\frac{-13}{-5}$$

Fraction $\frac{-13}{-5}$ can be simplified to $\frac{13}{5}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$p=\frac{13}{5}$$
