Answer:

p=3.8

Explanation:

collect like terms 3.8p+2.8p=6.6p

then add the numbers 8.4+6.18=14.58

move then variable to the left and change its sign(-3.2p now)

move the constant to the right and change its sign(-1.66 now)

your equation should be 6.6p-3.2p=14.58-1.66

collect like terms 6.6p-3.2p=3.4p

subtract the numbers 14.58-1.66=12.92

divide both sides of the equation by 3.4

p=3.8 is your final answer
