Question

−11 − 7p = −(1 + 2p)

Answer 1

The answer would be -2

Because

-11-7p=-(1+2p)

Distribute

-11-6p=-2p- -1

Add 2p to each side

-5p-11 = -1

Add 11 to each side

-5p=10

Divide each side by -5

P=-2

Answer 2

`-11-7p=-(1+2p)`

Firstly distribute negative sign

`-11-7p=-1-2p`

`-11+1=7p-2p`

`5p=-10`

`p=-2`............Answer
