Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 (-p + 8) = -6p + 12
distribute the -6 to the -p and the 8, so you now have 6p - 48 = -6p + 12
add 48 to both sides of the equation in order to isolate the x on one side. you now have 6p = -6p + 60
now add 6p to both sides to get all the "p's" on one side. equation is now 12p = 60
divide both sides by 12 to get p by itself and the answer is p = 5
