You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10p-2%283p-6%29=4%283p-6%29-8p
Distributive property
10p-%282%2A3p-2%2A6%29=%284%2A3p-4%2A6%29-8p
10p-%286p-12%29=%2812p-24%29-8p
10p-6p%2B12=12p-24-8p
Gather like terms,
4p%2B12=4p-24
Subtract 4p from both sides,
12=-24
Since this statement is false, there is no solution.
In other words, no value for p will make this statement true.
