Hi again Dear Shawanda ;
14 = - (p - 8)
▪ Step 1
' - ' mean ' - 1 '
14 = - (p - 8)
14 = ( -1 * p ) + ( -1 * -8 )
14 = -p + 8
▪ Step 2
14 - 8 = -p
OR
-p = 14 - 8
- p = 4
▪ Step 3
multiply by ' - 1 '
( - 1 * -p ) = ( -1 * 4 )
p = -4
Good Luck Darling.

14=-(p-8)
=> p - 8 = -14
=> p = -6

14=-(p-8)=-p+8 so 14=-p+8,14-8=-p,6=-p,therefore -6=p,substitute the value of p in the equation.u'll c that what is on the right=14.

Is this a graphing problem or just a normal equation?
If it is just an equation:
14 = -(p-8)
-14 = p - 8
p = -6

14 = -p + 8
p = 8 - 14
p = - 6

14=-(p-8)
14= -p+8
p=8-14
p=-6
