[tex]-5 (p+2)=2 (2p-15)+p[/tex]
[tex]-5p-10=4p-30+p
[/tex] [tex]\text{Expand}[/tex]
[tex]-5p-10=5p-30
[/tex]
[tex]-10=5p-30+5p
[/tex] [tex]\text{Add 5p to both sides}[/tex]
[tex]-10=10p-30
[/tex]
[tex]-10+30=10p
[/tex] [tex]\text{Add 30 to both sides}[/tex]
[tex]20=10p
[/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{20}{10}=p [/tex] [tex]\text{Divide both sides by 10}[/tex]
[tex]p=2 [/tex] [tex]\text{Solution}[/tex]
