Solve for p 2=6p-8-5p

$2 = 6 p - 8 - 5 p$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $6 p - 8 - 5 p = 2$ .

$6 p - 8 - 5 p = 2$

Step 2

Subtract $5 p$ from $6 p$ .

$p - 8 = 2$

Step 3

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

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$p = 2 + 8$

Add $2$ and $8$ .

$p = 10$
