-1 3/4 = p - 1/2

HOW DO I FIGURE THIS OUT

2 answers

To solve for p?

-1 3/4 = p - 1/2
Multiply through by 4
4(-7/4) = 4(p) - 4(1/2)
-7 = 4p - 2
-7+2 = 4p
-5=4p
p = -5/4 = -1 1/4

Check my work. Check my arithmetic.
-1 3/4 = p - 1/2

Add 1/2 to both sides of the equation.

-1 3/4 + 1/2 = p
- 1 1/4 = p
