Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
−4p+6p
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−4+6)p
Add the numbers
2p
2p−1
Show Solution

Find the roots
p=21
Alternative Form
p=0.5
Evaluate
−4p−(1−6p)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−4p−(1−6p)=0

2p
2p−1
2p−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2p=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2p=1
Divide both sides
22p=21
Solution
p=21
Alternative Form
p=0.5
