thanks MS. Sue,
To solve the given equation -9p-17=10, we need to isolate the variable 'p' by performing certain steps.
1. Begin by moving the constant term (-17) to the right side of the equation by adding 17 to both sides:
-9p - 17 + 17 = 10 + 17
-9p = 27
2. Next, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of 'p', which is -9, to solve for 'p':
(-9p) / -9 = 27 / -9
p = -3
So, the solution to the equation -9p - 17 = 10 is p = -3.
