3%285%2B4p%29-4p=-9p%2B5%283-9p%29 Start with the given equation.


15%2B12p-4p=-9p%2B15-45p Distribute.


8p%2B15=-9p%2B15-45p Combine like terms on the left side.


8p%2B15=-54p%2B15 Combine like terms on the right side.


8p=-54p%2B15-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


8p%2B54p=15-15 Add 54p to both sides.


62p=15-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


62p=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%280%29%2F%2862%29 Divide both sides by 62 to isolate p.


p=0 Reduce.
