#p=13#

Explanation:

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

#28+27p=7p-154+34p#

#rArr28+27p=41p-154#

#"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#
