-31=8-6p-7p
-31=8-13p ==add the -6p and the - 7p together
-39=13p =======move the 8 over to the other side
p=3 =======divide both sides by 13 to get p by itself

14 + 6p = 6 + 7p 8 = p
7p plus 6p equals 13p. You simply combine the like terms by adding the coefficients (7 and 6) together. Therefore, the equation simplifies to 13p.
7P + 9 = 16 + 6P subtract 6P from BOTH sides P + 9 = 16 subtract 9 from both sides P = 7
-7p + 5r - 6p + 3r = -7p - 6p + 5r + 3r = -(7 + 6)p + (5 + 3)r = -13p + 8r
7p-2p equals = 5
