Combine like terms: - 10.9p + 3.9 = - 9.18

Apply the next steps to solve the equation. What is the solution?

p = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-10.9p + 3.9 = - 9.18

Times 100

-10.9p • 100 + 3.9 • 100 = - 9.18 • 100

Refine

-1090p + 390 = - 918

Subtract 390 from both sides

-1090p + 390 - 390 = - 918 - 390

Simply

-1090p = - 1308

Divide both sides by - 1090

-1090p/-1090 = - 1308/-1090

Simply

p = 6/5
