Reduce the second part by taking 8 out. (11p + 8)/6 = p - 2

Multiply both sides by 6. 11p + 8 = 6p - 12

Subtract 6p from both sides. 5p + 8 = -12

Subtract 8 from both sides. 5p = -20

Divide both sides by 5. p = -4

Check it by substituting -4 for p in the original equation.

(-44 + 8)/6 = (-32 - 16)/8

-36/6 = -48/8

-6 = -6

It checks.
