The solution to this equation is p = -6

This expression is related to a First Degree Equation.

First degree equation is a mathematical expression and sentence, which is defined by having only one unknown. Its representation is given by: ax+b=0.

— To solve this expression, let's eliminate these square root symbols:

√-5p = √24-p

-5p = 24 - p

Move the p term before the positive sign equality, thus also shifting the 24th term:

-5p = 24 - p

-5p + p = 24

-4p = 24

— Finally, let's divide the second to the first term of this equation:

-4p = 24

p = 24 ÷ (-4)

p = -6

Therefore, the correct result of this expression will be p = -6
