Step 1 :Pulling out like terms :
1.1 Pull out like factors :
2p + 8 = 2 • (p + 4)
Equation at the end of step 1 : Step 2 :Equations which are never true :
2.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
2.2 Solve : p+4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :
p = -4
One solution was found : p = -4
