Isolate variable term: Isolate the term with the variable p. To do this, we need to get rid of the constant term on the same side as the variable term. We can subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to achieve this. 3p+8−8=14−83p=6
Solve for p: Solve for p.Now that we have isolated the term with p, we can solve for p by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of p, which is 3.33p=36p=2
