Question

-0.75p - 2 =0.25p how do you do it?

Answer 1

-0.75 + -2 = 0.25p
-0.75 + -2 = -2.75 -2.75 = 0.25p
Solving -2.75 = 0.25p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25p' to each side of the equation.
-2.75 + -0.25p = 0.25p + -0.25p
0.25p + -0.25p = 0.00
-2.75 + -0.25p = 0.00 Add '2.75' to each side of the equation.
-2.75 + 2.75 + -0.25p = 0.00 + 2.75
Combine like terms: -2.75 + 2.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.25p = 0.00 + 2.75 -0.25p = 0.00 + 2.75
Combine like terms: 0.00 + 2.75 = 2.75
-0.25p = 2.75
Divide each side by '-0.25'. p = -11
p = -11

Answer 2

-0.75p - 2 = 0.25p.....add 0.75 to both sides
-2 = 0.25p + 0.75p
-2 = p
