solve for p. -4(-3p + 6) - 5p = 10p p =

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the brackets

$$ \begin{align*} -4(-3p + 6)-5p&=10p\ 12p-24 - 5p&=10p \end{align*} $$

Step2: Combine like terms

$$ \begin{align*} (12p-5p)-24&=10p\ 7p-24&=10p \end{align*} $$

Step3: Move terms with (p) to one side

$$ \begin{align*} 7p-10p&=24\ -3p&=24 \end{align*} $$

Step4: Solve for (p)

$$ p=\frac{24}{-3}=- 8 $$

Answer:

(-8)
