93=16 - 5p
u can write it as:
5p=16-93
p = -77
therefore, p = -(77/5)
or p = -15.4

1. Add 5P to both sides
2. Subtract 93 from both sides.

93=16-5p [Original Equation]
77=(-5p) [Subtract 16 from both sides]
(-15.4)=p [Divide both sides by (-5)]
The Answer Is... p=(-15.4)
The Fractional Form would be: p=(-77/5)

you have to try to get the P by itself:
93=16-5p
subtract 16 (always do the opposite of the problem)
77=-5p
divide by -5
-15.4=p
