Question

Find the value of p:-3p =12

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, all you need to do is divide both sides of the equation by -3. This is done so that both sides are equal and fair. And since p is what we are finding, there is no need to divide by p.

= -3p = 12                                                                                                                             .  -3      -3.  

-3 into -3 gives us -1

-3 into 12 gives us -4 ( a positive number divided by a negative number produces a negative answer)

Therefore, p = -4
