Explanation:
24 + 8p = -8(5+ 3p) Original Problem
24 + 8p = -8(5) + -8(3p) Distributive property
24 + 8p = -40 - 24p Simplification
24 + 8p - 24 = -40 - 24p -24 Grouping the constants
8p = -64 - 24p Simplification
8p + 24p = -64 -24p +24p Grouping the variables
32p = -64 Simplification
32p/32 = -64/32 Isolating the variable
p = -2 The Answer!!!!
I hope this helps!!!
