Hi, Hope I can help
.

.
We are trying to solve for "p", first we will use the distribution method to get rid of the parentheses
.
= = = (remember to also put the right signs( ) (we had all positive numbers)
.
Now we will rearrange the numbers
.
= , now we will add like terms
.
=, (12p)(-10+40)=18, =
.
We will move "30" to the right side
.
= =
.
To find "p" we will divide each side by "12"
.
= =
.

.
"p" = (-1)
.
We can check by replacing "x" with (-1) in our equation
.
= = = = = (True)
.
"p" = (-1),
.
Hope I helped,Levi
