Question

−0.65p − 7 = 0.35p

Answer 1

I got the answer:

p = -7

Answer 2

I agree.

Answer 3

−0.65p − 7 = 0.35p
add 0.65p on both sides
-7=1p
divide 1 on both sides
-7=p

You are correct! Great job! ^-^

Answer 4

\(−0.65p−7=0.35p\)
So the first thing you would do is subtract `0.35p` from both sides
which I believe would equal \(−p−7=0\)
because \(−0.65p−7−0.35p=0.35p−0.35p=−p−7=0\)
So then we +7 to both sides of the equation( \(−p−7=0\) )
which equals \(−p=7\)
\( (−p−7+7=0+7\longrightarrow −p=7 \)
so then ÷(-1) to both sides of the equation
\(\LARGE\frac{-p}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}\)
-p/-1 cancels
so all you have left is \(\frac{7}{-1}\)
so when you simplify that you get −7
so \(\frac{7}{-1}=-7\)
\(p=−7\)
