What is the value of p in 15 minus 2p equals 9?

Answer 1

First, set up the equation you are given: 15 - 2p = 9

Subtract 15 from each side of the equation: 15 -2p - 15 = 9-15

Then, you should have: -2p = -6

Divide each side by -2: (-2p)/(-2) = (-6/-2)

Solve for p: p = 3

Answer 2

15 - 2p = 9

Subtract '15' from both sides

-2p = - 6

Divide both sides by '-1'

2p = 6

Divide both sides by '2'

p = 3 the answer.!!!!!
