Answer 2

think about it.....you want p by itself. So you want to do what to make the -5/6 on the left side cancel out ?

Answer 3

I don't know

Answer 4

what would happen to -5/6 of you added 5/6 to it ? Would they cancel each other out ?

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

so you would be left with :
p = -3 7/9 + 5/6.....I am not gonna do the math, but p has been solved.
So you would add 5/6 to both sides

Answer 7

sure thing :)
