8%28p-3%29%2B4p=6%282p%2B1%29-3 Start with the given equation


8p-24%2B4p=12p%2B6-3 Distribute


12p-24=12p%2B6-3 Combine like terms on the left side


12p-24=12p%2B3 Combine like terms on the right side


12p=12p%2B3%2B24Add 24 to both sides


12p-12p=3%2B24 Subtract 12p from both sides


0p=3%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side


0p=27 Combine like terms on the right side


0=27 Simplify

Since this equation is never true for any p value, this means there are no solutions.
