Question

What is 18 – 0.5p = –13.5???

Answer 1

p = 63

Explanation:

Stage 1: Simplify the two sides of the condition.

18−0.5p=−13.5

18+−0.5p=−13.5

−0.5p+18=−13.5

Stage 2: Subtract 18 from the two sides.

−0.5p+18−18=−13.5−18

−0.5p=−31.5

Stage 3: Divide the two sides by - 0.5.

−0.5p

−0.5 = −31.5 , −0.5

p=63
