-p/16 + 5 = 9
-p/16 = 4 subtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign
-p = 64 mulitply both sides by 16
p= -64 divide both sides by -1

-p/16 + 5 = 9
-p/16 = 9-5 = 4
-p = 4*16 = 64

p = -64

There are different methods to solve this problem: -

METHOD 1:

Given -p/16+5=9

1 we eliminate the divisor for this
Multiply the equation with 16
hence it becomes

-p+80=144

-p = 144-80 = 64

multiply with -1

p = -64

Proof:
if p = -64

-p/16+5=9

i.e:
-(-64)/16+5 = 9

- & - becomes +
hence
64/16+5 = 9
i.e: 4+5=9
9=9

Hence Solution to the answer is
-p = 64
p = -64

METHOD 2:

given -p/16+5=9

we need a common divisor to simplify this equation

common divisor will be 16 as the divisor of 5 here is '1'

so, equation becomes

-16p+80/16 = 9

take the divisor across the = sign, (divisor becomes a multiplier)

-16p + 80 = 9 * 16... i.e: -16p + 80 = 144

take '80' across the '=' sign (+ will become -, when moved across the '=' sign)

hence
-16p = 144-80 = 64

-p = 64/16 = 4

hence p = -4 (by multilying the equation with -1)

p/16 + 5 = 9
-p/16 = 9-5
-p/16 = 4
-p = 4*16
-p = 64
p = -64

-p/16 = 9 - 5
-p/16 = 4
-p = 4 multiplied by 16
-p = 64
p = -64

-p/16+5=9
-p/16=9-5
-p=4 x 16
-p=64
p=-64

you should write the quetions with brackets to avoid ,so it might be (-p/16)+5=9
=> -p/16=9-5
=> -p=4*16
-p=64 or p=-64

subtract 5 for both sides

-p/16 = 4

multiply 16 for both sides
-p = 64

divide -1 for both sides
p = -64
