P+2(P-1)=2P

Solution for P+2(P-1)=2P equation:

Simplifying
P + 2(P + -1) = 2P

Reorder the terms:
P + 2(-1 + P) = 2P
P + (-1 * 2 + P * 2) = 2P
P + (-2 + 2P) = 2P

Reorder the terms:
-2 + P + 2P = 2P

Combine like terms: P + 2P = 3P
-2 + 3P = 2P

Solving
-2 + 3P = 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.
-2 + 3P + -2P = 2P + -2P

Combine like terms: 3P + -2P = 1P
-2 + 1P = 2P + -2P

Combine like terms: 2P + -2P = 0
-2 + 1P = 0

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + 1P = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 1P = 0 + 2
1P = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
1P = 2

Divide each side by '1'.
P = 2

Simplifying
P = 2
