OpenStudy (math&ing001):
You're supposed to answer that @Shakita79595
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is it -9p

Nope, -6p + 3p = (-6+3)p = -3p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh ohkay
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
So -3p + 5 - 8 = ?
OpenStudy (math&ing001):

I have no idea how you got that !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I add -3p + 5 and subtracted it from 8
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
'p' is a variable, you can't add it to numbers !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohkayye
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
So back to -3p + 5 - 8 = ?

Just add the numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3+5+8 = 10
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
No just (5 - 8), you cannot add the -3p since it's a variable.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's gone be -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or -13

Yep -3 so you -3p-3, now divide by 3.
