Evaluate
−8p−4p
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−8−4)p
Subtract the numbers
−12p
−24−12p=0
Move the constant to the right side
−12p=0+24
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−12p=24
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
12p=−24
Divide both sides
1212p=12−24
Divide the numbers
p=12−24
