Since there is no "P" in the equation, it may take on any value. Did the instructions perhaps ask for the value of "p"? If so, what have you tried so far?

-2p+7=-9p-8 what does P equal?

-2p+7=9p-8
+ 2p on both sides
7=11p-8
+8 on both sides
15=11p
there p = 15/11 or 1.363636363...

-2p+7=9p-8

No. The equation, as entered by the original poster, has a "minus" sign on the first term of the right-hand side. You solved a different equation.

Here you go!

-2p+7=-9p-8
9p-2p=-8-7
7p=-15
p=-15/7
