-11%2B10%28p%2B10%29=4-5%282p%2B11%29 Start with the given equation.


-11%2B10p%2B100=4-10p-55 Distribute.


10p%2B89=4-10p-55 Combine like terms on the left side.


10p%2B89=-10p-51 Combine like terms on the right side.


10p=-10p-51-89 Subtract 89 from both sides.


10p%2B10p=-51-89 Add 10p to both sides.


20p=-51-89 Combine like terms on the left side.


20p=-140 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%28-140%29%2F%2820%29 Divide both sides by 20 to isolate p.


p=-7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is p=-7
