Answer:

1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(p+3/5)=-4

Let's convert 3/5 to decimal form:

-5(p+0.6)=-4

Expand parentheses:

-5p-3=-4

Add -3 to both sides:

-5p=-1

Divide both sides by -5:

p=1/5 or 0.2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

p = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

−5(p+ 3/5 )=−4

Distribute

-5p -5(3/5) = -4

-5p -3 = -4

Add 3 to each side

-5p -3+3 = -4+3

-5p = -1

Divide each side by -5

-5p/-5 = -1/-5

p = 1/5
