<PRE><B>Question 132323</B>

{{{4(p-3)+2(p-5)=0}}} Start with the given equation




{{{4p-12+2p-10=0}}} Distribute



{{{6p-22=0}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{6p=0+22}}}Add 22 to both sides



{{{6p=22}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{p=(22)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate p




{{{p=11/3}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{p=11/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{p=3.667}}} in decimal form)
