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