How do you solve #6p-11/-4=5#?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

#color(blue)(p=3/8#

#6p - 11/-4 =5#

#6p + 11/4 =5#

#(24p + 11)/4 =5#

#(24p + 11) =20#

#24p =9#

#p=9/24#

#color(blue)(p=3/8#

To solve the equation ( \frac{6p - 11}{-4} = 5 ), you would first multiply both sides of the equation by -4 to eliminate the fraction. This gives you (6p - 11 = -20). Then, you would add 11 to both sides to isolate the term with (p). This results in (6p = -9). Finally, you divide both sides by 6 to solve for (p), yielding (p = -\frac{3}{2}).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
