The answer is a negative decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - 4 (2p - 1) = 41

Distribute

9 - 8p + 4 = 41

Combine like terms

13 - 8p = 41

Subtract 13 from each side

13-13 - 8p = 41-13

-8p = 28

Divide each side by - 8

-8p/-8 = 28/-8

p = -3.5

9 - 4 (2p - 1) = 41dont solve it but tell me will the answer be a decimal(this is a multi step equation btw)
