Question

$3(p - 2) = - 9$
pls solve and send ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3p-6 =-9

3p-6 =-93p = -9 +6

3p-6 =-93p = -9 +63p= 3

3p-6 =-93p = -9 +63p= 3p=3/3

3p-6 =-93p = -9 +63p= 3p=3/3p= 1

Answer 2

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute

3(−2)=−9

{\color{#c92786}{3(p-2)}}=-93(p−2)=−9

3−6=−9

{\color{#c92786}{3p-6}}=-93p−6=−9

2

Add 

6

66

 to both sides of the equation

3−6=−9

3p-6=-93p−6=−9

3−6+6=−9+6

3p-6+{\color{#c92786}{6}}=-9+{\color{#c92786}{6}}3p−6+6=−9+6

Simplify

Add the numbers

Add the numbers

3=−3

3p=-33p=−3

4

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

3=−3

3p=-33p=−3

33=−33

\frac{3p}{{\color{#c92786}{3}}}=\frac{-3}{{\color{#c92786}{3}}}33p=3−3

5

Simplify

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

=−1

p=-1p=−1
