Answer:
p = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7p - 2/7p + 12 = 6
Combine like terms
3/7 p +12 = 6
Subtract 12 from each side
3/7p + 12-12 = 6-12
3/7p = -6
Multiply each side by 7/3
7/3 * 3/7p = -6*7/3
p = - 14
subtract 12 both sides
5p/ 7 - 2p/7 + 12 = 6 - 12
simplify
5p/7 - 2p/7 = -6
multiply both side by 7
5p/7 * 7 - 2p/7 * 7 = -6 * 7
5p - 2p = -42
p = -42 / 3
