Step 1

Simplify each term.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Combine $p$ and $\frac{4}{7}$ .

$- \frac{p \cdot 4}{7} - \frac{2}{7} p + \frac{1}{7}$

Step 1.2

Move $4$ to the left of $p$ .

$- \frac{4 \cdot p}{7} - \frac{2}{7} p + \frac{1}{7}$

Step 1.3

Combine $p$ and $\frac{2}{7}$ .

$- \frac{4 p}{7} - \frac{p \cdot 2}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$

Step 1.4

Move $2$ to the left of $p$ .

$- \frac{4 p}{7} - \frac{2 p}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$

Step 2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{- 4 p - 2 p + 1}{7}$

Step 3

Subtract $2 p$ from $- 4 p$ .

$\frac{- 6 p + 1}{7}$

Step 4

Factor $- 1$ out of $- 6 p$ .

$\frac{- (6 p) + 1}{7}$

Step 5

Rewrite $1$ as $- 1 (- 1)$ .

$\frac{- (6 p) - 1 (- 1)}{7}$

Step 6

Factor $- 1$ out of $- (6 p) - 1 (- 1)$ .

$\frac{- (6 p - 1)}{7}$

Step 7

Rewrite $- (6 p - 1)$ as $- 1 (6 p - 1)$ .

$\frac{- 1 (6 p - 1)}{7}$

Step 8

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{6 p - 1}{7}$
