Solve for p

Question

7(p-9)=-34.3

Answer 1

To solve for p, we need to isolate p by performing the operations on each side of the equation.

First, distribute the 7 on the left side of the equation:

7p - 63 = -34.3

Next, add 63 to both sides of the equation to isolate p:

7p = 28.7

Finally, divide both sides by 7 to solve for p:

p = 28.7 / 7
p = 4.1

Therefore, the solution is p = 4.1.
