Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline2=2(p7)2 = 2(p - 7)
  1. Distribute and Simplify: Simplify 2(p7)2(p - 7) by using the distributive property.2(p7)2(p - 7) =2(p)+2(7)= 2(p) + 2(-7) =2p14= 2p - 14
  2. Set Equal to 22: Set the simplified expression equal to 22.2=2p142 = 2p - 14
  3. Isolate Term with p: Isolate the term with p by adding 1414 to both sides of the equation.\newline2+14=2p14+142 + 14 = 2p - 14 + 14\newline16=2p16 = 2p
  4. Divide to Solve for p: Divide both sides of the equation by 22 to solve for p.\newline162=2p2\frac{16}{2} = \frac{2p}{2}\newline8=p8 = p
