Noah Harvey · Answer 1

First multiply the - 2p and - 5 to get the equation to 10p-2p=13 ... then subtract the 10p and 2p to get 8p=13 ... then divide the equation by 8 so p = (13/8)

Crosby · Answer 2

-2p (-5) - 2p=13

distribute

10p - 2p = 13

combine like terms

8p = 13

divide by 8

p = 13/8

p = 1 5/8
