Simplifying 4.3 + - 1.4 (p + 7) = - 9.7

Reorder the terms: 4.3 + - 1.4 (7 + p) = - 9.7 4.3 + (7 * - 1.4 + p * - 1.4) = - 9.7 4.3 + (-9.8 + - 1.4p) = - 9.7

Combine like terms: 4.3 + - 9.8 = - 5.5 - 5.5 + - 1.4p = - 9.7 Solving - 5.5 + - 1.4p = - 9.7

Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5.5' to each side of the equation. - 5.5 + 5.5 + - 1.4p = - 9.7 + 5.5

Combine like terms: - 5.5 + 5.5 = 0.0 0.0 + - 1.4p = - 9.7 + 5.5 - 1.4p = - 9.7 + 5.5

Combine like terms: - 9.7 + 5.5 = - 4.2 - 1.4p = - 4.2 Divide each side by '-1.4'. p = 3 Simplifying p = 3
