Question

$$8p+6=-8$$

Solve for p

$p = -\frac{7}{4} = -1\frac{3}{4} = -1.75$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$8p=-8-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $-8$ to get $-14$.

$$8p=-14$$

Divide both sides by $8$.

$$p=\frac{-14}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-14}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$p=-\frac{7}{4}$$
