Question

how to solve for p:

3/5 (p-3) = -4

Answer 1

multiply p-3 on both sides
then try to solve

Answer 2

times both sides by 5 ... -20=3(p-3) . open up the brackets .. -20=3p+9 u get -29/3=p

Answer 3

no no look at the question this 3 is not multiplied with p-3, it is divided by 3 @wannawarner

Answer 4

I don't know if either of you guys are right haha. I think you're supposed to subtract 3/4 from both sides.

Answer 11

ok i do this question
3/5(p-3)=-4
multiply both sides by p-3
3/5=-4(p-3)

p= ((3/5)-12)/4
