@RadEn explained like this in previous post.
first, subtract by 5p to both sides
6p+9-5p = 5p - 5p
simplify, will be : p+9 = 0
then subtract both sides by -9
p+9-9 = 0-9
p = -9

Answer 5

there is no 6 - 5?
I said 6p - 5p = 1p = p

Answer 6

that was the 6 I was talking about, I think I understand now because now the 1p is = to just p with out the number in front

Answer 7

yes precisely. The goal is to isolate the variable like how i did in this example. i ISOLATED p.

Answer 8

look over the work i did a few times if that might help :D
