What operation must be done to both sides of the equation to solve for p- -3 7/9 = 5/6?

a) add 5/6. b) subtract 3 7/9. c) subtract 5/6. d) add 3 7/9

Given equation:  p - -3 7/9 = 5/6

When you subtract a negative number you automatically change it to adding a positive number.

p - -3 7/9 = 5/6 → p + 3 7/9 = 5/6

To isolate p in this equation we need to subtract 3 7/9 to both sides.

p + 3 7/9 - 3 7/9 = 5/6 - 3 7/9

p = -161/18

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
