Question

$$17-2P=2P+5+2P.......P=$$

Solve for P

$P=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $2P$ and $2P$ to get $4P$.

$$17-2P=4P+5$$

Subtract $4P$ from both sides.

$$17-2P-4P=5$$

Combine $-2P$ and $-4P$ to get $-6P$.

$$17-6P=5$$

Subtract $17$ from both sides.

$$-6P=5-17$$

Subtract $17$ from $5$ to get $-12$.

$$-6P=-12$$

Divide both sides by $-6$.

$$P=\frac{-12}{-6}$$

Divide $-12$ by $-6$ to get $2$.

$$P=2$$
