start by adding 1/8 because remember anytime a number move to the other side of the equal sign it changes its sign
so -24-1/8p=3/8p
+1/8p=1/8p
-24=4/8p divide on both side 4/8
so the answer is p=-48
and to check the answer you multiply -48*4/8 which will equal -24.
so check 4/8(-48)=-24
you can check it on the scientific calculator
