Question

Solve : -p/3= 5
Please solve it

Answer 1

Answer: p = -15

Step-by-step explanation: to solve p we must simplify the equation until it is just letters on one side and numbers on the other.

As this is an equation we do this to both sides.

times by 3 to get rid of the fraction: -p = 15

convert the numbers from negative to positive so -p goes to p: p = -15

p = -15

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

$\frac{ - p}{3} = 5 \\ - p = 5 \times 3 \\ - p = 15 \\ p = - 15$
