Solution for 3x-5(x+4)=2(p-x) equation:


Simplifying
3x + -5(x + 4) = 2(p + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
3x + -5(4 + x) = 2(p + -1x)
3x + (4 * -5 + x * -5) = 2(p + -1x)
3x + (-20 + -5x) = 2(p + -1x)

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 3x + -5x = 2(p + -1x)

Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-20 + -2x = 2(p + -1x)
-20 + -2x = (p * 2 + -1x * 2)
-20 + -2x = (2p + -2x)

Add '2x' to each side of the equation.
-20 + -2x + 2x = 2p + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
-20 + 0 = 2p + -2x + 2x
-20 = 2p + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
-20 = 2p + 0
-20 = 2p

Solving
-20 = 2p

Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Add '-2p' to each side of the equation.
