Question
p/-3+(-8)=-8
Maribeth,
Let us solve this:
p/-3 + (-8) = -8
Since -8 is present on both sides of the equation, we can eliminate it from both sides (OR we can say that we move -8 from left side to right with change in sign. So it becomes -8 + 8 on the right side)
p/-3 = 0
Moving -3 to right side
p = 0 * -3
Hence p = 0
I believe this solves your problem. Kindly let me know if anything is not clear.
All the best. :)
Regards,
Pawan
