Question 666884
{{{5p+13-8p=-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3p+13=-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3p=-5-13}}} Subtract {{{13}}} from both sides.



{{{-3p=-18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(-18)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=6}}} Reduce.
