Answer:
p = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
9(p - 4) = 6p
simplify
9p - 36 = 6p
subtract 6p from both sides
3p - 36 = 0
add 36 to both sides
3p = 36
divide both sides by 3
p = 12
9(p-4)= 6p
multiply the bracket by 9
(9)(p)=9p
(9)(-4)=-36
9p-36=6p
move +9p to the other side to combine like terms
sign changes from +9p to -9p
9p-9p-36=6p-9p
-36=6p-9p
-36=-3p
divide both sides by -3 to get p by itself
-36/-3=-3p/3
12=p
answer:
p=12
