-564=-12\left(\left(-\frac{3\times 3+2}{3}\right)p+1\right)+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6.
-564=-12\left(\left(-\frac{9+2}{3}\right)p+1\right)+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
-564=-12\left(-\frac{11}{3}p+1\right)+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Add 9 and 2 to get 11.
-564=-12\left(-\frac{11}{3}\right)p-12+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Use the distributive property to multiply -12 by -\frac{11}{3}p+1.
-564=\frac{-12\left(-11\right)}{3}p-12+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Express -12\left(-\frac{11}{3}\right) as a single fraction.
-564=\frac{132}{3}p-12+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Multiply -12 and -11 to get 132.
-564=44p-12+\left(4\times 6+1\right)p
Divide 132 by 3 to get 44.
-564=44p-12+\left(24+1\right)p
Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.
-564=44p-12+25p
Add 24 and 1 to get 25.
-564=69p-12
Combine 44p and 25p to get 69p.
69p-12=-564
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
69p=-564+12
Add 12 to both sides.
69p=-552
Add -564 and 12 to get -552.
p=\frac{-552}{69}
Divide both sides by 69.
p=-8
Divide -552 by 69 to get -8.
