Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] - 2p - 9 = - 8p[/tex]

[tex] - 2p + 8p = 9[/tex]

[tex]6p = 9[/tex]

[tex]p = \frac{9}{6} [/tex]

or p=3/2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {p = 1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of [tex]p[/tex]:

[tex]-2(p + 3) = -8p[/tex]

-Use Distributive Property:

[tex]-2(p + 3) = -8p[/tex]

[tex]-2p - 6 = -8p[/tex]

-Take [tex]8p[/tex] and add it to [tex]-2p[/tex]:

[tex]-2p - 6 + 8p = -8p + 8p[/tex]

[tex]6p - 6 = 0[/tex]

-Add both sides by [tex]6[/tex]:

[tex]6p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6[/tex]

[tex]6p = 6[/tex]

-Divide both sides by [tex]6[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{6p}{6} = \frac{6}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {p = 1}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]p[/tex] is [tex]1[/tex].
