Question 100884
{{{6p+22=10}}} Start with the given equation


{{{6p+cross(22-22)=10-22}}} Subtract 22 from both sides



{{{6p=10-22}}} 



{{{6p=-12}}} Subtract 22 from 10 to get -12



{{{cross(6/6)p=-12/6}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate p



{{{p=-12/6}}} 



{{{p=-2}}} Reduce



Check:



{{{6p+22=10}}} Start with the given equation



{{{6(-2)+22=10}}} Plug in {{{p=-2}}}



{{{-12+22=10}}} Multiply



{{{10=10}}} Add. Since the equation is true, the solution {{{p=-2}}} works
