Simplifying an expression it is important to follow PEMDAS. We need to evaluate first those enclosed in parentheses, then exponents, multiplication, division, addition  and lastly subtraction. 

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p
-4.19p  = – 14.1
p= 3.37

Answer:

p= -1.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

-4.19p = 6.1

p = -6.1/4.19= -1.45.

Every "multiple" (multiply the equation by a number in both sides) of the equation will have the same solution.
