Answer:

p= -13

Explanation:

First step to this equation is to add(or subtract) the variables.

4p-p= 3p

3p+8= 2p-5

Then, you have to move the variable to one side.

3p+8= 2p-5

-2p -2p

Now that you have done this, subtract 8 to both sides.

1p+8= -5

-8 -8

Since a negative minus a negative equals a negative, -5-8= -13.

1p= -13

Divide to both sides by 1.

1p= -13

1 1

p= -13
