p/8 = -2
Multiply both sides by 8.
p/8 = -2
Multiply both sides by 8.
The equation you provided is:
p/8 = -2
To find the value of p, we need to get p by itself on one side of the equation. Here's what we can do:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the fraction:
(p/8) * 8 = (-2) * 8
Simplifying this gives us:
p = -16
So, the value of p is -16.
To summarize, to solve the equation p/8 = -2, we multiplied both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the fraction, and we found that p = -16.
