5p-6%2Bp=14-2p Start with the given equation.


-6%2B6p=14-2p Combine like terms on the left side.


6p=14-2p%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


6p%2B2p=14%2B6 Add 2p to both sides.


8p=14%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


8p=20 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%2820%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate p.


p=5%2F2 Reduce.
