Answer 3

hhow did yu get -3?

Answer 4

5p+2=4p-1

Since 4p contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 4p from both sides.
5p+2-4p=-1

Since 5p and -4p are like terms, add -4p to 5p to get p.
p+2=-1

Since 2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides.
p=-2-1

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.
p=-3
