For this case we must find the value of the variable "p" of the following equation:
We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation taking into account that and
:
We add similar terms:
We subtract from both sides of the equation:
We subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
We divide by -6 on both sides of the equation:
