-9.6 + -0.8p = 1.2p + -1.2p

Combine like terms: 1.2p + -1.2p = 0.0
-9.6 + -0.8p = 0.0

Add '9.6' to each side of the equation.
-9.6 + 9.6 + -0.8p = 0.0 + 9.6

Combine like terms: -9.6 + 9.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.8p = 0.0 + 9.6
-0.8p = 0.0 + 9.6

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 9.6 = 9.6
-0.8p = 9.6

Divide each side by '-0.8'.
p = -12

Simplifying
p = -12
