Question

How do you solve `-11( 10( p + 10) = 4- 5( 2p + 11)`?

Answer 1

`p=-10.49`

Explanation:

`−11(10(p+10)=4−5(2p+11)`; solve from the inside out
`−11(10p+100)=4−10p-55`
`-110p-1100=-10p-51`
Add `51` to both sides
`-110p-1100+51=-10p-51+51`
`-110p-1049=-10p`
Add `110p` to both sides
`-110p-1049+110p=-10p+110p`
`-1049=100p`
`p=-10.49`
