Question

$$4p+2p+5=3p+2-15$$

Solve for p

$p=-6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $4p$ and $2p$ to get $6p$.

$$6p+5=3p+2-15$$

Subtract $15$ from $2$ to get $-13$.

$$6p+5=3p-13$$

Subtract $3p$ from both sides.

$$6p+5-3p=-13$$

Combine $6p$ and $-3p$ to get $3p$.

$$3p+5=-13$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$3p=-13-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-13$ to get $-18$.

$$3p=-18$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$p=\frac{-18}{3}$$

Divide $-18$ by $3$ to get $-6$.

$$p=-6$$
