Question

I have to find out what number P would it be if it was a number in the equation- -6+p=-22

Answer 1

We want to solve the equation:

`-6+p=-22`

For p.

To make this equation more understandable, we could re-write it as:

`p-6=-22`

Now, we could add "6" to both sides of the equation as follows:

`\begin{gathered} p-6+6=-22+6 \\ p=-16 \end{gathered}`

Then, p = -16.
