p-5(p+4)=p-(8-p)

Solution

p - 5 (p + 4) = p - (8 - p)

Solution

p = - 2

Solution steps

p - 5 (p + 4) = p - (8 - p)

Subtract

p

from both sides

p - 5 (p + 4) - p = p - (8 - p) - p

Simplify

- 5 (p + 4) = - (8 - p)

Expand

- 5 (p + 4) : - 5 p - 20

Expand

- (8 - p) : - 8 + p

- 5 p - 20 = - 8 + p

Move

20

to the right side

- 5 p = p + 12

Move

p

to the left side

- 6 p = 12

Divide both sides by

- 6

p = - 2
