Answer :

Solution:

Note that:

  • Given sentence: The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.

Let's reread the sentence carefully.

The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.

  • => p - (-5) = 1

Change the sign.

  • p - (-5) = 1
  • => p + 5 = 1

Subtract 5 both sides:

  • p + 5 = 1
  • => p + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5
  • => p = -4
