Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove the brackets on the left
6p + 5p + 5 = - 8 - 2(p + 12)
Remove the brackets on the right. Be careful this has minus problems.
6p + 5p + 5 = - 8 - 2p - 24
Combine like terms on the left.
11p + 5 = - 8 - 2p - 24
Combine like terms on the right
11p + 5 = - 32 - 2p
Add 2p on both sides.
11p + 2p + 5= - 32 -2p + 2p
13p + 5 = - 32
Subtract 5 from both sides. Be careful of the minus.
13p + 5 - 5 = - 32 - 5
13p = - 37
Divide by 13
13p/13 = - 37/13
p = -2.846
