-10p+9p= 12
⇒ (-10+9)*p= 12 (distributive property)
⇒ -1*p= 12
⇒ -p= 12
⇒ p= -12
Final answer: p=-12

we add like terms
to understand this user the distributive property in reverse like this
ab+ac=a(b+c) so we have
-10p+9p=(-10+9)p
we add the terms in the parenthsees
-10+9=9-10=-1
so we have
-1p=12
multiply both sides by -1
p=-12

Alexis solved this equation: – 2(4p–11)+7p = – 10p–14 – 8p+22+7p = – 10p–14 – p+22 = – 10p–14 9p+22 = – 14 9p = – 39 p = – 4 Which property is not needed to justify any of the steps?
