You need to simplify by isolating the variable.

$3p - 4 = - 10 + 4p$

Get the terms with $p$ on the left side and everything else on the right side.

$3p -4p = - 10 + 4$

then combine like terms

$- p = - 6$

Divide both sides by $- 1$ to isolate the variable $p$ .

$p = (- 6)/(- 1)$

and lastly, reduce to lowest terms

$p = 6$

The final answer is positive $6$ .
