Answer:

p = -2

Explanation:

5p - 10 = + 4(1 + 3p)

first get rid of the bracquetes:

5p - 10 = + 4*1 + 4*3p

5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p

subtract left and right of = sign by 5p

5p -5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p -5p

0 - 10 = + 4 + (12p -5p)

subtract left and right of = sign by 4

-10 -4 = 4 -4 + ( 7p )

re arrange

7p + 0 = -14

divide left and right of = sign by 7

7/7 p = -14/7

p = -2
