2p-5=-12p+20+3
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 3p-5.
2p-5=-12p+23
Add 20 and 3 to get 23.
2p-5+12p=23
Add 12p to both sides.
14p-5=23
Combine 2p and 12p to get 14p.
14p=23+5
Add 5 to both sides.
14p=28
Add 23 and 5 to get 28.
p=\frac{28}{14}
Divide both sides by 14.
p=2
Divide 28 by 14 to get 2.
