Solve the equation 4p+25=6(p3)3(43p)4p + 25 = 6(p - 3) - 3(4 - 3p).

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the equation 4p+25=6(p3)3(43p)4p + 25 = 6(p - 3) - 3(4 - 3p).
2. We need to solve for the variable pp.

STEP 2

First, we will distribute the multiplication over the parentheses on both sides of the equation.
For the left side of the equation, there is no distribution needed as there are no parentheses.
For the right side of the equation, we distribute 66 into (p3)(p - 3) and 3-3 into (43p)(4 - 3p).

STEP 3

Distribute 66 into (p3)(p - 3):
6(p3)=6p186(p - 3) = 6p - 18

STEP 4

Distribute 3-3 into (43p)(4 - 3p):
3(43p)=12+9p-3(4 - 3p) = -12 + 9p

STEP 5

Now, rewrite the original equation with the distributed terms:
4p+25=(6p18)(129p)4p + 25 = (6p - 18) - (12 - 9p)

STEP 6

Next, we simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms. We need to subtract 1212 and add 9p9p to 6p186p - 18:
6p1812+9p6p - 18 - 12 + 9p

STEP 7

Combine like terms on the right side:
6p+9p1812=15p306p + 9p - 18 - 12 = 15p - 30

STEP 8

Now, the equation looks like this:
4p+25=15p304p + 25 = 15p - 30

STEP 9

To isolate the variable pp on one side, we will move all terms containing pp to one side and the constant terms to the other side.
First, subtract 4p4p from both sides of the equation to move the pp terms to the right side:
4p+254p=15p304p4p + 25 - 4p = 15p - 30 - 4p

STEP 10

Simplify both sides of the equation:
25=11p3025 = 11p - 30

STEP 11

Next, add 3030 to both sides of the equation to move the constant terms to the left side:
25+30=11p30+3025 + 30 = 11p - 30 + 30

STEP 12

Simplify both sides of the equation:
55=11p55 = 11p

STEP 13

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 1111 to solve for pp:
5511=11p11\frac{55}{11} = \frac{11p}{11}

STEP 14

Simplify both sides of the equation:
5=p5 = p
The solution to the equation is p=5p = 5.
