Simplify
−12−6p−(−2)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−12−6p+2
Add the numbers
−10−6p
−10−6p=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−6p=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−6p=10
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
6p=−10
Divide both sides
66p=6−10
Divide the numbers
p=6−10
