Solve the equation for p
More Steps

Evaluate
−p+40025=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−p=0−40025
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−p=−40025
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
p=40025
p=40025p−200=0
Solve the equation for p
