0.2(p-16)=0.4p

Solution for 0.2(p-16)=0.4p equation:

Simplifying
0.2(p + -16) = 0.4p

Reorder the terms:
0.2(-16 + p) = 0.4p
(-16 * 0.2 + p * 0.2) = 0.4p
(-3.2 + 0.2p) = 0.4p

Solving
-3.2 + 0.2p = 0.4p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.4p' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + 0.2p + -0.4p = 0.4p + -0.4p

Combine like terms: 0.2p + -0.4p = -0.2p
-3.2 + -0.2p = 0.4p + -0.4p

Combine like terms: 0.4p + -0.4p = 0.0
-3.2 + -0.2p = 0.0

Add '3.2' to each side of the equation.
-3.2 + 3.2 + -0.2p = 0.0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: -3.2 + 3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2p = 0.0 + 3.2
-0.2p = 0.0 + 3.2

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 3.2 = 3.2
-0.2p = 3.2

Divide each side by '-0.2'.
p = -16

Simplifying
p = -16
