1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $4p + 5 = 29 - 2p$ for $p$. 2. **Write down the equation:** $$4p + 5 = 29 - 2p$$ 3. **Add $2p$ to both sides** to get all $p$ terms on one side: $$4p + 2p + 5 = 29$$ $$6p + 5 = 29$$ 4. **Subtract 5 from both sides** to isolate the term with $p$: $$6p = 29 - 5$$ $$6p = 24$$ 5. **Divide both sides by 6** to solve for $p$: $$p = \frac{24}{6}$$ $$p = 4$$ **Final answer:** $p = 4$
