Answer:

The value of p is;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

to solve, let us subtract 6 from both sides;

$\begin{gathered} 6-6-8p=38-6 \\ -8p=32 \end{gathered}$

then we can divide both sides by the coefficient of p.

divide both sides by -8;

$\begin{gathered} (-8p)/(-8)=(32)/(-8) \\ p=-4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of p is;
