-5p+15p+20=8p+18
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3p+4.
10p+20=8p+18
Combine -5p and 15p to get 10p.
10p+20-8p=18
Subtract 8p from both sides.
2p+20=18
Combine 10p and -8p to get 2p.
2p=18-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
2p=-2
Subtract 20 from 18 to get -2.
p=\frac{-2}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
p=-1
Divide -2 by 2 to get -1.
