Question 248722
Problem:
{{{5(p+3)+9=3(p-2)+6}}}
Multiply 5 by each term inside the parenthesis next to it.
Also, multiply 3 by each term inside the parenthesis next to it.
{{{5p+15+9=3p-6+6}}}
Combine like terms.  Gather the "p" terms on the left, integers on the right.
{{{5p-3p=-6+6-15-9}}}
{{{2p=-24}}}
Divide by 2 on both sides of equation.
{{{p=-24/2}}}
{{{p=-12}}}   <--- Done!
