Solve the equation.

p-3 = - 4

p=?

p=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3 to both sides

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

p-3 = - 4

Carry over the - 3 and make p the subject.

p = - 4+3

p = - 1

To check if the answer was correct replace the p with the value it is in brackets. The value of p is - 1.

(-1) - 3 = - 4

-1-3 = - 4

Therefore p is - 1 and the answer is correct.
