Question

$$2 p - 6 = 7 p + 24$$

Solve for p

$p=-6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $7p$ from both sides.

$$2p-6-7p=24$$

Combine $2p$ and $-7p$ to get $-5p$.

$$-5p-6=24$$

Add $6$ to both sides.

$$-5p=24+6$$

Add $24$ and $6$ to get $30$.

$$-5p=30$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$p=\frac{30}{-5}$$

Divide $30$ by $-5$ to get $-6$.

$$p=-6$$
