p.

-5(p+(3)/(5))=-4

Solve for p p .\newline5(p+35)=4 -5\left(p+\frac{3}{5}\right)=-4

Full solution

Q. Solve for p p .\newline5(p+35)=4 -5\left(p+\frac{3}{5}\right)=-4
  1. Distribute 5-5: Distribute the 5-5 into the parentheses.\newline5×p+5×(35)=4-5 \times p + -5 \times \left(\frac{3}{5}\right) = -4\newline5p3=4-5p - 3 = -4
  2. Add 33: Add 33 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable pp. \newline5p3+3=4+3-5p - 3 + 3 = -4 + 3\newline5p=1-5p = -1
  3. Divide by 5-5: Divide both sides by 5-5 to solve for pp.\newline5p/5=1/5-5p / -5 = -1 / -5\newlinep=1/5p = 1/5
