Solve for p 6-3p=4-p

$6 - 3 p = 4 - p$

Step 1

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

Add $p$ to both sides of the equation.

$6 - 3 p + p = 4$

Add $- 3 p$ and $p$ .

$6 - 2 p = 4$

Step 2

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

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 2 p = 4 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $4$ .

$- 2 p = - 2$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- 2 p = - 2$ by $- 2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 2 p = - 2$ by $- 2$ .

$\frac{- 2 p}{- 2} = \frac{- 2}{- 2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 2 p}{- 2} = \frac{- 2}{- 2}$

Divide $p$ by $1$ .

$p = \frac{- 2}{- 2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 2$ by $- 2$ .

$p = 1$
