9(p−4)=−18 p= I am not great at math, please explain just a little bit

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4) = -18

Expand brackets.

9p -36 = -18

Add 36 on both sides.

9p -36 + 36 = -18 + 36

9p = 18

Divide both sides by 9.

(9p)/9 = 18/9

p = 2

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p - 4) = -18

You are solving for the variable, p. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and =

First, divide 9 from both sides:

(9(p - 4))/9 = (-18)/9

(p - 4) = -18/9

p - 4 = -2

Isolate the variable, p. Add 4 to both sides:

p - 4 (+4) = -2 (+4)

p = -2 + 4

p = 4 - 2

p = 2

Check. Plug in 2 for p in the equation:

9(p - 4) = -18

9(2 - 4) = -18

9(-2) = - 18

-18 = -18.
