Homework Help: pre algebra

Posted by john on Friday, November 13, 2009 at 7:03pm.

How do I figure out problems like
52 = p +(-41)?
I tried doing the steps but I got -11, which is wrong.
Can someone walk me through the steps?

52= P-41

SO move P to the other side making it +41.

P= 91

These are my steps:

52 = p + (-41)
52 = p - 41 (same thing)
52(+41) = p - 41 (+ 41)
93 = p
