4p+5=16-2-\left(-p\right)
To find the opposite of 2-p, find the opposite of each term.
4p+5=16-2+p
The opposite of -p is p.
4p+5=14+p
Subtract 2 from 16 to get 14.
4p+5-p=14
Subtract p from both sides.
3p+5=14
Combine 4p and -p to get 3p.
3p=14-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
3p=9
Subtract 5 from 14 to get 9.
p=\frac{9}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
p=3
Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.
