Answer:
p = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(p + 2) - 4 = 14
We can just drop the parentheses:_
p + 2 - 4 = 14
p - 2 = 14
Add 2 to both sides:-
p - 2 + 2 = 14 + 2
p = 16
[tex](p+2)-4=14[/tex]
First you had to remove parenthesis first.
And it gave us ⇒ [tex]p+2-4=14[/tex]
Then you add and subtract by the numbers.
And it gave us ⇒ [tex]p-2=14[/tex]
Next, you add by two from both sides of equation form.
And it gave us ⇒ [tex]p-2+2=14+2[/tex]
And finally you simplify by equation.
And it gave us ⇒ [tex]p=16[/tex]
Final answer ⇒ [tex]\boxed{p=16}[/tex]
