Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-4p + 9 = -5

Step 2: Solve for p

Subtract 9 on both sides:                     -4p = -14Divide -4 on both sides:                       p = 7/2

Step 3: Check

Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in p:                    -4(7/2) + 9 = -5Multiply:                               -14 + 9 = -5Add:                                     -5 = -5

Here we see that -5 does indeed equal -5.

∴ p = 7/2 is the solution to the equation.

3.5 is the right answer.

21.00 per mile and plus 5.50 is 26.50 i think that im pretty sure it is right
