Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

4 - 3p = 22

Step 2: Solve for p

1. Subtract 4 on both sides:                    -3p = 18
2. Divide -3 on both sides:                      p = -6

Step 3: Check

Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in p:                     4 - 3(-6) = 22
2. Multiply:                                4 + 18 = 22
3. Add:                                      22 = 22

Here we see that 22 does indeed equal 22.

∴ p = -6 is a solution to the equation.
