Question

5p-4=(-24) : Solve the given equation.

Answer 1

5p - 4 = -24

first transfer the number with no variable on the right, changing its sign

5p = -24 + 4

5p = -20

next divide both sides by the number with the variable

5p/5 = -20/5

final answer is

p= -4

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of p is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$5p-4=(-24)$

To find:- The value of the expression,

For solving this expression, we must apply the transposition method:

As we have,

=> $5p-4=(-24)$

Add both sides by $4$, we get

=> $5p-4+4=(-24)+4$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $5p = -20$

Divide both sides by $5$,

=> $p = -4$

Hence, the required solution is -4.
