Answer:
Simplifying
4p + -40 = 7(2p + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-40 + 4p = 7(2p + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-40 + 4p = 7(2 + 2p)
-40 + 4p = (2 * 7 + 2p * 7)
-40 + 4p = (14 + 14p)
Solving
-40 + 4p = 14 + 14p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-14p' to each side of the equation.
-40 + 4p + -14p = 14 + 14p + -14p
Combine like terms: 4p + -14p = -10p
-40 + -10p = 14 + 14p + -14p
Combine like terms: 14p + -14p = 0
-40 + -10p = 14 + 0
-40 + -10p = 14
Add '40' to each side of the equation.
-40 + 40 + -10p = 14 + 40
Combine like terms: -40 + 40 = 0
0 + -10p = 14 + 40
-10p = 14 + 40
Combine like terms: 14 + 40 = 54
-10p = 54
Divide each side by '-10'.
p = -5.4
Simplifying
p = -5.4
