6p%2B22=10 Start with the given equation

6p%2Bcross%2822-22%29=10-22 Subtract 22 from both sides


6p=10-22


6p=-12 Subtract 22 from 10 to get -12


cross%286%2F6%29p=-12%2F6 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate p


p=-12%2F6


p=-2 Reduce


Check:


6p%2B22=10 Start with the given equation


6%28-2%29%2B22=10 Plug in p=-2


-12%2B22=10 Multiply


10=10 Add. Since the equation is true, the solution p=-2 works

6p + 22 = 10
first subtract 22 from both sides on the equal sign
6p + 22 -22 = 10 - 22
6p + 0 = -12
6p = -12
divide both sides by 6
6p/6 = -12/6
p = -2
Check answer:
6p + 22 = 10
6(-2) + 22 = 10
-12 + 22 = 10
10 = 10
