$6.00 lb + 15% = 6.00 x 1.15 = $6.90
$6.90 x 2.6lbs = $17.94

-30/49 would be my answer to this. hope this helps!
Ultimately, you want the <em>variable</em> p on one side of the equals sign, and the <em>value</em> of p on the other.
First, get rid of the parenthesis by <em>distributing.
</em>There is an invisible -1 in front of the first and last set of parenthesis, and a one times any number is the number itself, so you are essentially distributing the negative sign.
<em>
</em>So you have: 2-4p-3 = -3p-6-2p-3
<em>
</em>Next, <em>Combine like terms.
</em>
Can you take it from there?<em>
