Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                1+8*p-4*p+5-(2*(p-3)-2*(p-2))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (4p + 6) -  ((2 • (p - 3)) -  2 • (p - 2))  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (4p + 6) -  (2 • (p - 3) -  2 • (p - 2))  = 0 
 Step  3  :
 Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   4p + 8  =   4 • (p + 2) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  4 • (p + 2)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    4   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    p+2 = 0 

 Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation : 
                      p = -2
