Answer 1

Answer:

P = - a - 3

P = 3 - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference of an integer p and -a is 3. Find out the value of p.

Difference of an integer p and -a is 3

=> either  P  + 3  = -a

or P - 3 = - a

case 1

P + 3 = -a

=> P = - a - 3

case 2

P -3 = -a

=> P = 3 - a

Answer 2

Answer:

Possible value of p is 3 - a or -3 - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Difference of an integer p and -a is 3

We need to find value of p.

Difference means we apply subtraction operation between them.

If, p is greater than -a then

we have

p - ( -a ) = 3

p + a = 3

p = 3 - a

If, -a is greater than p then

we have

-a - p = 3

-p = 3 + a

p = -3 - a

Therefore, Possible value of p is 3 - a or -3 - a
