Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. -14p - 11 = -10p - 3 -4p - 11 = -3 -4p = 8 p = divide both sides by -4

Explanation:

Step1: Identify first operation

To get from \(-14p - 11 = -10p - 3\) to \(-4p - 11 = -3\), we add \(10p\) to both sides (or add \(14p\) and subtract \(10p\), but adding \(10p\) is simpler). So the operation is "Add \(10p\) to both sides".

Step2: Identify second operation

To get from \(-4p - 11 = -3\) to \(-4p = 8\), we add \(11\) to both sides. So the operation is "Add \(11\) to both sides".

Step3: Solve for \(p\)

Divide both sides by \(-4\): \(p=\frac{8}{-4}=-2\).

Answer:

First missing description: Add \(10p\) to both sides
Second missing description: Add \(11\) to both sides
\(p = -2\)
