0.2-1.4=0.2(p-7)

Solution for 0.2-1.4=0.2(p-7) equation:

Simplifying
0.2 + -1.4 = 0.2(p + -7)

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -1.4 = -1.2
-1.2 = 0.2(p + -7)

Reorder the terms:
-1.2 = 0.2(-7 + p)
-1.2 = (-7 * 0.2 + p * 0.2)
-1.2 = (-1.4 + 0.2p)

Solving
-1.2 = -1.4 + 0.2p

Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Add '-0.2p' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + -0.2p = -1.4 + 0.2p + -0.2p

Combine like terms: 0.2p + -0.2p = 0.0
-1.2 + -0.2p = -1.4 + 0.0
-1.2 + -0.2p = -1.4

Add '1.2' to each side of the equation.
-1.2 + 1.2 + -0.2p = -1.4 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.2 + 1.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2p = -1.4 + 1.2
-0.2p = -1.4 + 1.2

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.2 = -0.2
-0.2p = -0.2

Divide each side by '-0.2'.
p = 1

Simplifying
p = 1
