What Is The Value Of P?

What is the value of p?

 

Answer:

p = {-1/3,  -5/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Extract the root using Square root property where if x² = k, then x=±√k.

Find p:

(p + 1)² = 4/9

√(p + 1)² = ±√(4/9)

p + 1 = ± 2/3

p  = -1 + 2/3

p = -3/3 + 2/3

p = -1/3

p = -1 - 2/3

p = -3/3 - 2/3

p = -5/3
