Answer: p = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

4|p-3| = |2p + 8|. First multiply 4 with p and - 3. You'll get 4p-12. You will now have 4p-12 = 2p+8. You have to switch - 12 & 2p, but you have to switch the signs so - 12 turns into + 12 and 2p turns into - 2p. 4p-2p = 8+12. This makes 2p=20. Your final answer will be p = 10.
