Q. Solve for pp.\newline2=p7-2 = |p| - 7\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinep=p = _____ or p=p = _____
  1. Isolate absolute value expression: Add 77 to both sides of the equation to isolate the absolute value expression.2+7=p7+7-2 + 7 = |p| - 7 + 75=p5 = |p|
  2. Determine possible values of pp: Determine the two possible values of pp that could result in the absolute value being 55. If p=5|p| = 5, then pp can be 55 or 5-5 because the absolute value of both 55 and 5-5 is 55. pp00 or pp11
