Hey there!

  • Firstly, you have to
    \bold{simplify} each of the sides of your equation

  • \bold{6-2p-p+9\downarrow}

  • \bold{6+(-2p)=p+9\downarrow}

  • \rightarrow\bold{-2p+6=p+9}
  • Now that you have that portion out of the way, we could move on to our second step... which is to
    \bold{subtract} by the value of
    \bold{p} on each of your sides

  • \bold{-2p+6-p-p+9-p\downarrow}

  • \rightarrow\bold{-3p+6-9} (you get this because we solve the particular equation we added above)
  • Thirdly, you have to
    \bold{subtract} by the number
    \bold{6} on each of your sides

  • \bold{-3p+6-6=9-6\downarrow}

  • \bold{Cancel:6-6} because it equals to
    \bold{0}

  • \bold{Keep:9-6} because it brings us closer and closer to the answer of
    \bold{p}
  • Fourthly, we have to
    \bold{divide} by the number
    \bold{-3} on each of your sides

  • \bold{(-3p)/(-3)=(3)/(-3)}

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:p=-1}}}
    \checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
