-15=6p+15-10p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-15=6p+15-10p -15 -15 = 6p-10p -30=-4p p=30/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it equals -1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? it is 30/4=15/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Combine like terms. -15 = 6p + 15 - 10p So 6p - 10p = -4p -15 = -4p + 15 Now you will subtract 15 from both sides -15 - 15 ---------------- -30 = -4p Divide both sides by both sides. /-4 /-4 ------------------ p = -30/-4 then simplify
