p=13p=13

Explanation:

"distribute the bracket on the right side of the equation"distribute the bracket on the right side of the equation

28+27p=7p-154+34p28+27p=7p−154+34p

rArr28+27p=41p-154⇒28+27p=41p−154

"subtract 41p from both sides"subtract 41p from both sides

28+27p-41p=cancel(41p)cancel(-41p)-154

rArr28-14p=-154

"subtract 28 from both sides"

cancel(28)cancel(-28)-14p=-154-28

rArr-14p=-182

"divide both sides by "-14

(cancel(-14) p)/cancel(-14)=(-182)/(-14)

rArrp=13
