Answer:
[tex]p = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5p - 8(6p - 5) = p - 4[/tex]
[tex] - 43p - 40 = p - 4[/tex]
[tex] - 43p - p = - 40 - 4[/tex]
[tex] - 44p = - 44[/tex]
[tex] p =\frac{22}{27} [/tex]
5p - 8(6p - 5) = p - 4
-5p - 48p + 40 = p - 4
-53p + 40 = p - 4
-53p - p = -4 - 40
-54p = -44
p = 44 ÷ 54
p = 44/54
simplify with factor 2
p = 22/27
