Answer:
To solve for p we will do the following steps:
1. Distribute 1/4 to (8-4p) to get:
2-p+2p=12 (1/4*8=2, and -4p*1/4=-p)
2. Add any like terms:
2+p=12 (we add -p and 2p together because they are both like terms.)
3. Get variable by itself:
p=10 (Subtract both sides by 2 to get p by itself.)
p=10
Hope this helps ;)
