We have the following linear equation:

2.6(5.5p - 12.4) = 127.92
1. Distributive property:

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92
2. Addition property of equality:

14.3p - 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.4 14.3p = 160.32
3. Division property of equality:

(14.3p)/(14.3) = (160.32)/(14.3)
4. Solution:

p = 11.21
Answer:
 this linear equation for p is:
p = 11.21
