Answer:
The answer is p = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
-2.5p - 20 = 9p + 37.5
(move constants to one side by adding 20 to both sides)
-2.5p = 9p + 57.5
(move all terms with the "p" variable to one side by subtracting 9 from both sides)
-11.5p = 57.5
(divide both sides by -11.5 to isolate the variable)
p = -5
