9(p−4)=−18 p= I am not great at math, please explain just a little bit

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4) = -18

Expand brackets.

9p -36 = -18

Add 36 on both sides.

9p -36 + 36 = -18 + 36

9p = 18

Divide both sides by 9.

(9p)/9 = 18/9

p = 2

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p - 4) = -18

You are solving for the variable, p. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and =

First, divide 9 from both sides:

(9(p - 4))/9 = (-18)/9

(p - 4) = -18/9

p - 4 = -2

Isolate the variable, p. Add 4 to both sides:

p - 4 (+4) = -2 (+4)

p = -2 + 4

p = 4 - 2

p = 2

Check. Plug in 2 for p in the equation:

9(p - 4) = -18

9(2 - 4) = -18

9(-2) = - 18

-18 = -18.

da freeck kinda math is this just drop out

step-by-step explanation:

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
