5p-4p-8=-2+3

Combine like terms
p-8= 1

Add 8 to both sides to isolate p
p=9

Final answer: 1 solution only, p=9

Hey!

First, let's write the problem.

5p-4p-8=-2+3
Add like terms,
5p-4p=p

p-8=-2+3
Add the numbers.

p-8=1
Add 8 to both sides.

p-8+8=1+8

Our final answer would be,

p=9
This tells us that the equation
5p-4p-8=-2+3 has one solution.

Thanks!
