Question 356575
{{{12p-7=-3p+8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12p=-3p+8+7}}} Add {{{7}}} to both sides.



{{{12p+3p=8+7}}} Add {{{3p}}} to both sides.



{{{15p=8+7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{15p=15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(15)/(15)}}} Divide both sides by {{{15}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=1}}} Reduce.
