Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline14p+20+7=16p314p + 20 + 7 = 16p - 3\newlinep = ____
  1. Simplify equation: First, let's simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.\newline14p+20+7=16p314p + 20 + 7 = 16p - 3\newline14p+27=16p314p + 27 = 16p - 3
  2. Combine terms: Next, we want to get all the terms with pp on one side and the constants on the other side. To do this, we can subtract 14p14p from both sides of the equation.14p+2714p=16p314p14p + 27 - 14p = 16p - 3 - 14p27=2p327 = 2p - 3
  3. Isolate variable term: Now, we will isolate the variable term by moving the constant on the right side to the left side. We do this by adding 33 to both sides of the equation.27+3=2p3+327 + 3 = 2p - 3 + 330=2p30 = 2p
  4. Solve for p: Finally, we solve for pp by dividing both sides of the equation by 22.302=2p2\frac{30}{2} = \frac{2p}{2}15=p15 = p
