Question

Im doing multi step problems and im stuck on this problem the equation is-84=-3(3p+6)-2p​

Answer 1

p=6

Explanation:

First use the Distributive property to distribute the -3 to both (3p) and (6):

-84=-9p-18-2p

Now combine alike terms! (-9p-2p):

-84=-11p-18

Now add 18 to both sides!

-66=-11p

Now divide both sides by -11!

6=p

This can be rearranged to give you a final answer of p=6
