To solve for p, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 8 to the expression inside the parentheses:
-160 = 22 + 8 * 3p - 8 * 4
Simplify:
-160 = 22 + 24p - 32
Combine like terms:
-160 = 24p - 10
Next, isolate the variable by moving the constant terms to the other side of the equation:
-160 + 10 = 24p
-150 = 24p
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 24 to solve for p:
-150/24 = p
p ≈ -6.25
-160=22+8(3p-4)
