Question 173345


{{{p-1=5p+3p-8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{p-1=8p-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=8p-8+1}}} Add {{{1}}} to both sides.



{{{p-8p=-8+1}}} Subtract {{{8p}}} from both sides.



{{{-7p=-8+1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-7p=-7}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(-7)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=1}}} Reduce.
