On the number line, the number p is twice as many units from -2 as -2 is from 5. If p is less than –2, what is the value of p ?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) –16
B) –10
C) –6
D) 10
E) 14
Distance between -2 and 5 = 7   Since number p is twice as many units from -2 as -2 is from 5   , therefore p can be -16 Since , p is less than -2 ,   the value of p = -16   –16nswer –16
