Given:
______________________________________________________
  " 8p + 8 = 10 + 7p " ;   Solve for "p" ; 

Subtract "7p" from each side of the equation; & subtract "8" from each side of the equation; as follows:

Answer 2

You would get all like variables on one side by either adding or subtracting, though, in this case you would only subtract. This would give you 8p-7p=10-8. You would then combine like terms, giving you p=2. That should be your final answer (:
