Analyze Equation: Analyze the first equation.The first equation is −11=p−9. To find the value of p, we need to isolate p on one side of the equation.
Add 9: Add 9 to both sides of the first equation.−11+9=p−9+9This simplifies to:−2=p
Check Consistency: Check the second equation for consistency.The second equation is simply p=□, which indicates that it is waiting for the value of p to be filled in. Since we have found p=−2 from the first equation, this is consistent with the second equation.
Write Final Answer: Write the final answer.The value of p is −2.
