Solve for p. 6 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19 p = ____

Combine like terms: Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. On the left side, combine the constants 6 and -15. 6 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19 15p - 9 = 17p + 19Move terms to isolate variable: Move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side. Subtract 15p from both sides to move the variable terms to the right side. 15p - 9 - 15p = 17p + 19 - 15p -9 = 2p + 19Isolate variable term: Continue to isolate the variable term p. Subtract 19 from both sides to move the constant terms to the left side. -9 - 19 = 2p + 19 - 19 -28 = 2pSolve for p: Solve for p by dividing both sides by the coefficient of p. Divide both sides by 2. (-28) / 2 = 2p / 2 p = -14

Q. Solve for

p

\newline

6 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19

\newline

p =

____

Combine like terms: Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. $\newline$ On the left side, combine the constants $6$ and $-15$ . $\newline$ $6 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19$ $\newline$ $15p - 9 = 17p + 19$
Move terms to isolate variable: Move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side. $\newline$ Subtract $15p$ from both sides to move the variable terms to the right side. $\newline$ $15p - 9 - 15p = 17p + 19 - 15p$ $\newline$ $-9 = 2p + 19$
Isolate variable term: Continue to isolate the variable term $p$ . Subtract $19$ from both sides to move the constant terms to the left side. $-9 - 19 = 2p + 19 - 19$ $-28 = 2p$
Solve for $p$ : Solve for $p$ by dividing both sides by the coefficient of $p$ . $\newline$ Divide both sides by $2$ . $\newline$ $(-28) / 2 = 2p / 2$ $\newline$ $p = -14$
