3p-7+9-2p=p+2
solve for p

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the question is what is "p" or solve for "p". Now the equation is 3p-7+9-2p which equals p+2.

Step 1: Set up the equation

3p-7+9-2p=p+2

Step 2: See if there is any terms or coefficient that can be combined. This is what some people call "combine like terms."

look at the left side of the equation, there is a 3p and a negative 2p. Combine those together

3p minus 2p equals p  (some people like to put 1 in front of the p)

there are still two numbers left without a variable. it is negative 7 and a positive 9. Combine those together

-7 plus 9 equals 2

Looking at the right side, there is only p and a number 2. So there is no reason to use the "combine like terms" method because p and 2 are not the same terms. So leave the right side alone.

Here's what the equation looks like now

p+2=p+2

Step 3: Now, we want to get p alone on one side, and an number alone of the opposite side. What we can do is actually subtract 2 on both sides.

p+2=p+2

 -2     -2

p= p

I hope you understand what I typed up, sorry for writing so much, I do like to write out my explainations in details. If you have any question or concern please let me know. I would glady answer anything, I will have attach a picture of this work, and also an example of testing out if p=p. Hope you have a great day.

You have got to take a better picture. i can't you if i can't see what i'm trying to you with.. okay.
