Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline15p+16=13p1215p + 16 = -13p - 12\newlinep=p = __
  1. Combine like terms: Now we combine like terms.\newline15p+13p+16=1215p + 13p + 16 = -12\newline28p+16=1228p + 16 = -12
  2. Isolate p: Next, we need to isolate p by subtracting 1616 from both sides.\newline28p+1616=121628p + 16 - 16 = -12 - 16\newline28p=2828p = -28
  3. Divide to solve for pp: Finally, we divide both sides by 2828 to solve for pp.28p28=2828\frac{28p}{28} = \frac{-28}{28}p=1p = -1
