Answer:

The equation would be p=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you must take into account that all the terms with the letter p must be on the left side of the equation, the other terms must be on the right side.

First step

The 4p term must be passed to the left with opposite sign

[tex]5p+2-4p=-1[/tex]

Second step

The +2 term from the left must be passed to the right with opposite sign

[tex]5p-4p=-1-2[/tex]

Third step

You must perform the operations. The equation would be:

[tex]p=-3[/tex]

Thus, the equation would be p=-3
