-3%28p-7%29%2B5p=6p-7 Start with the given equation.


-3p%2B21%2B5p=6p-7 Distribute.


2p%2B21=6p-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


2p=6p-7-21 Subtract 21 from both sides.


2p-6p=-7-21 Subtract 6p from both sides.


-4p=-7-21 Combine like terms on the left side.


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


p=%28-28%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate p.


p=7 Reduce.
