Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline3p+8=143p + 8 = 14\newlinep=p = _____
  1. Isolate variable term: Isolate the term with the variable pp. To do this, we need to get rid of the constant term on the same side as the variable term. We can subtract 88 from both sides of the equation to achieve this. 3p+88=1483p + 8 - 8 = 14 - 8 3p=63p = 6
  2. Solve for p: Solve for p.\newlineNow that we have isolated the term with pp, we can solve for pp by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of pp, which is 33.\newline3p3=63\frac{3p}{3} = \frac{6}{3}\newlinep=2p = 2
