Solve -4p-8=4s+3

$$- 4 p - 8 = 4 s + 3$$

Solve for p

$$p=-s-\frac{11}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 8 to both sides.

$$-4p=4s+3+8$$

Add 3 and 8 to get 11.

$$-4p=4s+11$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$\frac{-4p}{-4}=\frac{4s+11}{-4}$$

Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.

$$p=\frac{4s+11}{-4}$$

Divide 4s+11 by -4.

$$p=-s-\frac{11}{4}$$

Solve for s

$$s=-p-\frac{11}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4s+3=-4p-8$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$4s=-4p-8-3$$

Subtract 3 from -8 to get -11.

$$4s=-4p-11$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4s}{4}=\frac{-4p-11}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$s=\frac{-4p-11}{4}$$

Divide -4p-11 by 4.

$$s=-p-\frac{11}{4}$$
