2) -33 - 8p = 5(1 + 6p)

Question

  1. -33 - 8p = 5(1 + 6p)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the right - hand side

$-33 - 8p=5\times1 + 5\times6p$
$-33 - 8p = 5+30p$

Step2: Move terms with $p$ to one side

$-8p-30p=5 + 33$

Step3: Combine like terms

$-38p=38$

Step4: Solve for $p$

$p=\frac{38}{-38}$
$p=-1$

Answer:

$p = - 1$
