Solve the following equation

30p-(15p+50)=295

Solve for p

30p - (15p + 50) = 295

Simplify by removing parentheses
Simplify -(15p + 50):
Distribute the - to each term in (15p+50)
- * 15p = (-1 * 15)p = -15p
- * 50 = (-1 * 50) = -50
Our Total expanded term is -15p-50

Our new term is
30p - 15p - 50 = 295

Simplify by removing parentheses
Our new term is
30p - 15p - 50 = 295

Group the p terms on the left:

(30 - 15)p = 15p

Form modified equation

15p - 50 = + 295

Divide each side by 30

30p
30

=

Group constants

Group our constants -50 and 295.
add 50 to both sides

15p - 50 + 50 = 295 + 50

Cancel 50 on the left side:

15p = 345

Divide each side of the equation by 15

15p
15

=
