Solve 2.3p-10.1=6.5p-4-0.01

$$2.3p-10.1 = 6.5p-4-0.01$$

Solve for p

$$p=-1.45$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.01 from -4 to get -4.01.

$$2.3p-10.1=6.5p-4.01$$

Subtract 6.5p from both sides.

$$2.3p-10.1-6.5p=-4.01$$

Combine 2.3p and -6.5p to get -4.2p.

$$-4.2p-10.1=-4.01$$

Add 10.1 to both sides.

$$-4.2p=-4.01+10.1$$

Add -4.01 and 10.1 to get 6.09.

$$-4.2p=6.09$$

Divide both sides by -4.2.

$$p=\frac{6.09}{-4.2}$$

Expand \frac{6.09}{-4.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$p=\frac{609}{-420}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{609}{-420} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 21.

$$p=-\frac{29}{20}$$
