Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newline6+15p15=17p+196 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19\newlinep=p = ____
  1. Combine like terms: Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.\newlineOn the left side, combine the constants 66 and 15-15.\newline6+15p15=17p+196 + 15p - 15 = 17p + 19\newline15p9=17p+1915p - 9 = 17p + 19
  2. Move terms to isolate variable: Move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side.\newlineSubtract 15p15p from both sides to move the variable terms to the right side.\newline15p915p=17p+1915p15p - 9 - 15p = 17p + 19 - 15p\newline9=2p+19-9 = 2p + 19
  3. Isolate variable term: Continue to isolate the variable term pp. Subtract 1919 from both sides to move the constant terms to the left side. 919=2p+1919-9 - 19 = 2p + 19 - 19 28=2p-28 = 2p
  4. Solve for pp: Solve for pp by dividing both sides by the coefficient of pp.\newlineDivide both sides by 22.\newline(28)/2=2p/2(-28) / 2 = 2p / 2\newlinep=14p = -14
