4p-\left(s-4p\right)=-1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 2,4,8.
4p-s+4p=-1
To find the opposite of s-4p, find the opposite of each term.
8p-s=-1
Combine 4p and 4p to get 8p.
8p=-1+s
Add s to both sides.
8p=s-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8p}{8}=\frac{s-1}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
p=\frac{s-1}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
4p-\left(s-4p\right)=-1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 2,4,8.
4p-s+4p=-1
To find the opposite of s-4p, find the opposite of each term.
8p-s=-1
Combine 4p and 4p to get 8p.
-s=-1-8p
Subtract 8p from both sides.
-s=-8p-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-s}{-1}=\frac{-8p-1}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
s=\frac{-8p-1}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
s=8p+1
Divide -1-8p by -1.
