Question

1. 5p - 14 = 8p + 4

Explanation:

Step1: Move terms with $p$ to left

$5p - 8p - 14 = 4$

Step2: Combine like terms for $p$

$-3p - 14 = 4$

Step3: Move constant to right

$-3p = 4 + 14$

Step4: Calculate right-hand side sum

$-3p = 18$

Step5: Solve for $p$

$p = \frac{18}{-3}$

Answer:

$p = -6$
