Question 613551
{{{-10p+8=7p+12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-10p=7p+12-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-10p-7p=12-8}}} Subtract {{{7p}}} from both sides.



{{{-17p=12-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-17p=4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(4)/(-17)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-17}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=-4/17}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{p=-4/17}}}
