2p+2-6\left(p+3\right)=-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by p+1.
2p+2-6p-18=-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by p+3.
-4p+2-18=-4
Combine 2p and -6p to get -4p.
-4p-16=-4
Subtract 18 from 2 to get -16.
-4p=-4+16
Add 16 to both sides.
-4p=12
Add -4 and 16 to get 12.
p=\frac{12}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
p=-3
Divide 12 by -4 to get -3.
