How do you solve #p-1.34=-11.8#?

Answer 1

#p = -10.46#

To solve for the variable #p#, we have to make it alone. To do so, we add #color(blue)1.34# to both sides of the equation: #p - 1.34 quadcolor(blue)(+quad1.34) = -11.8 quadcolor(blue)(+quad1.34)#

So the answer is: #p = -10.46#

I hope this is useful.

To solve the equation ( p - 1.34 = -11.8 ), you would first add 1.34 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable ( p ). The steps are as follows:

[ p - 1.34 + 1.34 = -11.8 + 1.34 ] [ p = -10.46 ]

So, the solution to the equation is ( p = -10.46 ).
