Answer:

  p = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

From here, it is a 2-step linear equation.

Step 1:

Identify the constant term on the side of the equation with the variable. Subtract that constant from both sides.

  -10.9p = -13.08

Step 2:

Divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable.

  p = -13.08/-10.9 = 1.2

The solution is p = 1.2.
