How do u solve 4p - 40 = 7 (-2p + 2) ?

Simplifying

4p + - 40 = 7 (2p + 2)

Reorder the terms:

-40 + 4p = 7 (2p + 2)

Reorder the terms:

-40 + 4p = 7 (2 + 2p)

-40 + 4p = (2 * 7 + 2p * 7)

-40 + 4p = (14 + 14p)

Solving

-40 + 4p = 14 + 14p

Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Add '-14p' to each side of the equation.

-40 + 4p + - 14p = 14 + 14p + - 14p

Combine like terms: 4p + - 14p = - 10p

-40 + - 10p = 14 + 14p + - 14p

Combine like terms: 14p + - 14p = 0

-40 + - 10p = 14 + 0

-40 + - 10p = 14

Add '40' to each side of the equation.

-40 + 40 + - 10p = 14 + 40

Combine like terms: - 40 + 40 = 0

0 + - 10p = 14 + 40

-10p = 14 + 40

Combine like terms: 14 + 40 = 54

-10p = 54

Divide each side by '-10'.

p = - 5.4

Simplifying

p = - 5.4
