Solve for p 11+2p=p+4

$11 + 2 p = p + 4$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $p$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $p$ from both sides of the equation.

$11 + 2 p - p = 4$

Subtract $p$ from $2 p$ .

$11 + p = 4$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $p$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $11$ from both sides of the equation.

$p = 4 - 11$

Subtract $11$ from $4$ .

$p = - 7$
