Solve for p 2p-5=p+5

$2 p - 5 = p + 5$

Step 1

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

Subtract $p$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 p - 5 - p = 5$

Subtract $p$ from $2 p$ .

$p - 5 = 5$

Step 2

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

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$p = 5 + 5$

Add $5$ and $5$ .

$p = 10$
