16-8P=24p
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 2-P.
-8P=24p-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
\frac{-8P}{-8}=\frac{24p-16}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
P=\frac{24p-16}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
P=2-3p
Divide 24p-16 by -8.
16-8P=24p
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 2-P.
24p=16-8P
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{24p}{24}=\frac{16-8P}{24}
Divide both sides by 24.
p=\frac{16-8P}{24}
Dividing by 24 undoes the multiplication by 24.
p=\frac{2-P}{3}
Divide 16-8P by 24.
