Question 228273


{{{12-4(p-4)=3p}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12-4p+16=3p}}} Distribute.



{{{-4p+28=3p}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4p=3p-28}}} Subtract {{{28}}} from both sides.



{{{-4p-3p=-28}}} Subtract {{{3p}}} from both sides.



{{{-7p=-28}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{p=(-28)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=4}}} Reduce.
