Question

$$P-2=(-2-2)((-2)^{2}+1)$$

Solve for P

$P=-18$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2$ from $-2$ to get $-4$.

$$P-2=-4\left(\left(-2\right)^{2}+1\right)$$

Calculate $-2$ to the power of $2$ and get $4$.

$$P-2=-4\left(4+1\right)$$

Add $4$ and $1$ to get $5$.

$$P-2=-4\times 5$$

Multiply $-4$ and $5$ to get $-20$.

$$P-2=-20$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$P=-20+2$$

Add $-20$ and $2$ to get $-18$.

$$P=-18$$
