Question

If p+5/4 (4-2p)=-4, find p

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p+5=-4

p+5=-4(4 (4-2p))

p+5=-64+32p

p-32p=-64-5

-31p=-69

p=-69 / -31

p=69/31

Answer 2

$\huge\tt{Solution:-}$

$p + \frac{5}{4} ( 4 - 2p) = -4 \\ \\ p + 5(-2p) = -4 \\ \\ p + (-10p) = -4 \\ \\ -9p = -4 \\ \\ p = \frac{-9}{-4} \\ \\p = \frac{9}{4}$
