We can express the equation 7 p + 12 = 3 p + 11 as 4 p = − 1 by isolating the variable p and combining constants. This takes the initial equation and simplifies it to focus on the relationship involving p alone. The final equivalent form is clearer and shows that four times the variable equals negative one.
