Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by 4+4p.
-28-25p=8p-4\left(p+7\right)
Combine -28p and 3p to get -25p.
-28-25p=8p-4p-28
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by p+7.
-28-25p=4p-28
Combine 8p and -4p to get 4p.
-28-25p-4p=-28
Subtract 4p from both sides.
-28-29p=-28
Combine -25p and -4p to get -29p.
-29p=-28+28
Add 28 to both sides.
-29p=0
Add -28 and 28 to get 0.
p=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -29 is not equal to 0, p must be equal to 0.
