Answer 5

You need to watch your signs. Remember, a negative times a negative is a positive. Also, a positive times a negative is a negative. Review your process. And yes, you're correct, the numbers can be set up that way too. Though you will still get the same issue of a number equaling another number. I've detailed it a bit more for you.

Answer 6

on the left side will remain

2-p-2 =p

yes ?

Answer 7

on the right side

-p+3+6=9-p

so

p=9-p

2p=9

p=9/2
