What is 4p+5=33 ? For the equation

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  4p - 28  =   4 • (p - 7)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    4   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    p-7 = 0

Add  7  to both sides of the equation :

                     p = 7
