Question

anonymous · Answer

Fractions don't show up well in questions... is your question as follows?$$\frac{ p+9 }{ 5 } = r$$

anonymous · Answer

And you want to solve for "p" ?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Ok, great...
So, you need to get "p" all alone... first, you have the whole left side of the equation divided by 5.  You can't get to the "p" until you get rid of that denominator, so start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:

(p + 9) / 5 = r
(p + 9)*5 / 5 = 5r

Then cancel the "5" on the left side:
(p+9) = 5r

okay i got that far im on p+9=r5

anonymous · Answer

Then, you can get the "p" on the left all alone by subtracting 9 from both sides:
(p+9) = 5r
p + 9 - 9 = 5r - 9
so...
p = 5r - 9
