Answer:

P=0

Explanation:

-7+7(2+ p) = 8p +7

-7+14+7p=8p+7

-7+14+7p=8p+7

7+7p=8p+7

7+7p=8p+7

(Add/Subtract Like terms)

Subtract 7 from the left to the right.

It will become:

7p=8p+7-7

It will become:

7p=8p

Subtract 8p from both sides.

-1p=0

Or:

-p=0.

Since its still a negative, make it a positive.

p=0
