Thanks :) P.S will give medals <3

Answer 1

Do you have an idea of where to start?

Answer 2

Also, is it \[-2=\frac{6}{7}p\]OR\[-2=\frac{6}{7p}\]

Answer 3

^couldnt resist the bribe of medals? lol jk

Answer 7

Please help!!!

Answer 8

ok so this is your equation:
\[-2=\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }p\]
what u have to do is multiply by the reciprocal on both sides of the equation so that p will become 1
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }\times -2=\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }\times \frac{ 6 }{ 7 }p\]
so \[\frac{ 7 }{ 6}\times \frac{ 6 }{ 7 }\] is cancelled and your left with \[\frac{ 7 }{ 6 }\times \frac{ 2 }{ 1 }=p\]
now u simplify by dividing 6 by 2 and 2 by 2then you'll have \[\frac{ 7 }{ 3}\times \frac{ 1 }{ 1}=p\]
then u multiply and you end up with \[p =\frac{ 7 }{ 3 }\]
