7%28p%2B3%29-3p=5%2B6%28p%2B5%29-4p Start with the given equation.


7p%2B21-3p=5%2B6p%2B30-4p Distribute.


4p%2B21=5%2B6p%2B30-4p Combine like terms on the left side.


4p%2B21=2p%2B35 Combine like terms on the right side.


4p=2p%2B35-21 Subtract 21 from both sides.


4p-2p=35-21 Subtract 2p from both sides.


2p=35-21 Combine like terms on the left side.


2p=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%2814%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate p.


p=7 Reduce.
