Hey!
Alright, the first solving this problem would be to subtract 35 from both sides. This will give you 8p on its own.
Original Equation :
37 + 8p = 65 + 7p
New Equation {Changed by Simplification} :
8p = 7p + 28
Now we'll subtract 7p from both sides.
Old Equation :
8p = 7p + 28
New Equation {Solved by Simplification} :
p = 28
So, in the equation 37 + 8p = 65 + 7p, p = 28.
Hope this helps!
