3p%2B6-4p=36-5p-2 Start with the given equation.


-p%2B6=36-5p-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-p%2B6=-5p%2B34 Combine like terms on the right side.


-p=-5p%2B34-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-p%2B5p=34-6 Add 5p to both sides.


4p=34-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


4p=28 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%2828%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate p.


p=7 Reduce.
