Answer:

p = 201

Explanation:

In this question, you would solve for the variable "p".

Solve:

-4(p - 212) = 44

Use the distributive property to distribute the -4.

-4p + 848 = 44

Subtract 848 from both sides to get -4p by itself.

-4p = -804

Divide both sides by -4 to get "p" by itself.

p = 201

Your final answer would be p = 201
