order of operations use (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, PEMDAS)
-11%2B10%28p%2B10%29=4-5%282p%2B11%29 first use distribution
-11%2B10p%2B100=4-10p%2B55 add like terms on each side or = sign
10p%2B89=-10p%2B59 add 10p to both sides
20p%2B89=59subtract 89 from both sides
20p=-30 divide by 20
p=30%2F20 reduce fraction
