Answer 2

p = 6

Explanation:

Simplifying

6p + 13 = 9p + -5

Reorder the terms

13 + 6p = 9p + -5

Reorder the terms

13 + 6p = -5 + 9p

Solving

13 + 6p = -5 + 9p

Solving for variable p

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add -9p to each side of the equation.

13 + 6p + -9p = -5 + 9p + -9p

Combine like terms: 6p + -9p = -3p

13 + -3p = -5 + 9p + -9p

Combine like terms: 9p + -9p = 0

13 + -3p = -5 + 0

13 + -3p = -5

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.

13 + -13 + -3p = -5 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0

0 + -3p = -5 + -13

-3p = -5 + -13

Combine like terms: -5 + -13 = -18

-3p = -18

Divide each side by -3

p = 6

Simplifying

p = 6
