Solve -2=6/7p

$$- 2 = \frac { 6 } { 7 } p$$

Solve for p

$$p = -\frac{7}{3} = -2\frac{1}{3} \approx -2.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by \frac{7}{6}, the reciprocal of \frac{6}{7}.

$$-2\times \frac{7}{6}=p$$

Express -2\times \frac{7}{6} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-2\times 7}{6}=p$$

Multiply -2 and 7 to get -14.

$$\frac{-14}{6}=p$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{7}{3}=p$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$p=-\frac{7}{3}$$
