Question

5p - 14 = 8p + 4

Explain

Answer 1

1: we bring all the x to one member, changing its sign (I use x, consider it a p)
$5x - 8x - 14 = + 4$

2 we bring all the non-x to the other member
$5x - 8x = + 14 + 4$
3 we solve the members
$(5 - 8)x = - 3x$
$( + 14 + 4) = + 18$
4 we divide 18 by -3
$- 3x = + 18$
$x = 18 \div - 3$
$18 \div - 3 = - 5$
$x = - 5$
my English is so bad lol

Answer 2

5p-14=8p+4

Plus 14 from both sides

5p= 8p + 18

Subtract 8p from both sides

-3p= 18

Divide -3 from both sides

P= -6
