Answer:

p = -14

Explanation:

-6 ( p + 8 ) = 36

Solve the brackets.

- 6p - 48 = 36

Add 48 to both sides.

- 6p = 36 + 48

- 6p = 84

Divide both sides by -6.

p = -14

Answer:

The value of p = -14

Explanation:

Given the equation

$-6\left(p+8\right)=36$

Divide both sides by -6

$(-6\left(p+8\right))/(-6)=(36)/(-6)$

simplify

p+8=-6

Subtract 8 from both sides

p+8-8=-6-8

simplify

p=-14

Therefore,

The value of p = -14
