Question 71673: Please help me figure out this problem: 8-3(p-4)=2p Thank you! This is a problem that my teacher wrote out on the board. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8-3(p-4)=2p
Get rid of the parenthesis by using the distributive property.
8-3p+12 = 2p
Add the 8 and the 12; Add 3p to both sides
20=5p
Divide both sides by 5 to get:
p=4
