Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] -\dfrac{1}{2} + p = \dfrac{5}{8} [/tex]
Add 1/2 to both sides.
[tex] -\dfrac{1}{2} + p + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] p = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{4}{8} [/tex]
[tex] p = \dfrac{9}{8} [/tex]
[tex]Given : \dfrac{-1}{2} + p = \dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\implies p = \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\implies p = \dfrac{4 + 5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\implies p = \dfrac{9}{8}[/tex]
The Question Mark should be Replaced with 8
