Question 544425
{{{10-3p=2+5p}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3p=2+5p-10}}} Subtract {{{10}}} from both sides.



{{{-3p-5p=2-10}}} Subtract {{{5p}}} from both sides.



{{{-8p=2-10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{p=(-8)/(-8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-8}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=1}}} Reduce.
