    Use distribution.

    10 - (8p + 3) = 10 - 8p - 3 = 7 - 8p

    9 (2p - 5) = 18p - 45

    So ...

    -8p + 7 = 18p - 45

    Subtract 7 from both sides

    -8p = 18p - 52

    Subtract 18p from both sides

    -26p = 52

    Divide both sides by - 26.

    p = - 2

    There's your answer : D
