Solve 10-0.5P=-20+10P

$$10-0.5P = -20+10P$$

Solve for P

$$P = \frac{20}{7} = 2\frac{6}{7} \approx 2.857142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 10P from both sides.

$$10-0.5P-10P=-20$$

Combine -0.5P and -10P to get -10.5P.

$$10-10.5P=-20$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$-10.5P=-20-10$$

Subtract 10 from -20 to get -30.

$$-10.5P=-30$$

Divide both sides by -10.5.

$$P=\frac{-30}{-10.5}$$

Expand \frac{-30}{-10.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$P=\frac{-300}{-105}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-300}{-105} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -15.

$$P=\frac{20}{7}$$
