Question

$$16 p + 23 = 12 p + 7$$

Solve for p

$p=-4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $12p$ from both sides.

$$16p+23-12p=7$$

Combine $16p$ and $-12p$ to get $4p$.

$$4p+23=7$$

Subtract $23$ from both sides.

$$4p=7-23$$

Subtract $23$ from $7$ to get $-16$.

$$4p=-16$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$p=\frac{-16}{4}$$

Divide $-16$ by $4$ to get $-4$.

$$p=-4$$
