Solve -2p/19=8/95

$$\frac { - 2 p } { 19 } = \frac { 8 } { 95 }$$

Solve for p

$$p=-\frac{4}{5}=-0.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 19.

$$-2p=\frac{8}{95}\times 19$$

Express \frac{8}{95}\times 19 as a single fraction.

$$-2p=\frac{8\times 19}{95}$$

Multiply 8 and 19 to get 152.

$$-2p=\frac{152}{95}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{152}{95} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 19.

$$-2p=\frac{8}{5}$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$p=\frac{\frac{8}{5}}{-2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{8}{5}}{-2} as a single fraction.

$$p=\frac{8}{5\left(-2\right)}$$

Multiply 5 and -2 to get -10.

$$p=\frac{8}{-10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$p=-\frac{4}{5}$$
