Solve 2*P=|-4|-3-2|+(-7)(2-2)+3*(2+3)|

$$2 \cdot P = | - 4 | - 3 - 2 | + ( - 7 ) ( 2 - 2 ) + 3 \cdot ( 2 + 3 ) |$$

Solve for P

$$P = -\frac{29}{2} = -14\frac{1}{2} = -14.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The absolute value of a real number a is a when a\geq 0, or -a when a<0. The absolute value of -4 is 4.

$$2P=4-3-2|-7\left(2-2\right)+3\left(2+3\right)|$$

Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

$$2P=1-2|-7\left(2-2\right)+3\left(2+3\right)|$$

Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.

$$2P=1-2|-7\times 0+3\left(2+3\right)|$$

Multiply -7 and 0 to get 0.

$$2P=1-2|0+3\left(2+3\right)|$$

Add 2 and 3 to get 5.

$$2P=1-2|0+3\times 5|$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$2P=1-2|0+15|$$

Add 0 and 15 to get 15.

$$2P=1-2|15|$$

The absolute value of a real number a is a when a\geq 0, or -a when a<0. The absolute value of 15 is 15.

$$2P=1-2\times 15$$

Multiply 2 and 15 to get 30.

$$2P=1-30$$

Subtract 30 from 1 to get -29.

$$2P=-29$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$P=\frac{-29}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-29}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{29}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$P=-\frac{29}{2}$$
