What is 4p-p+8=2p-5.

p = - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First step to this equation is to add (or subtract) the variables.

4p-p = 3p

3p+8 = 2p-5

Then, you have to move the variable to one side.

3p+8 = 2p-5

-2p - 2p

Now that you have done this, subtract 8 to both sides.

1p+8 = - 5

-8 - 8

Since a negative minus a negative equals a negative, - 5-8 = - 13.

1p = - 13

Divide to both sides by 1.

1p = - 13

1 1

p = - 13
