The answer is
P=1.2

Final answer: 6/5

SOLUTION

• -4 = 5(p -2)

 -4 = (5)(p) + (5)(-2)   • Distribute

 -4 = 5p + (-10)

 -4 = 5p - 10

• 5p - 10 = -4

• 5p - 10 + 10 = -4 + 10

  5p = 6

• [tex]\frac{5p}{5} = \frac{6}{5}[/tex]

  p = [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

  • simplify both sides of the equation
  • flip the equation
  • add 10 to both sides
  • divide both sides by 5
  • we would be getting the final answer of 6/5
