See explanation.

Explanation:

If one side of an equation contains a variable multiplied by a number and the other contains only a number to solve the equation you have to divide both sides by the number next to the variable. Here you divide both sides by #10#:

#10p=-20# - divide both sides by #10#

#p=-2# - this is the solution of the original equation.
