<--- Original equation
First thing you need to do is move all of the "p-terms" to one side. I will move them to the left. Then you can solve for "p".
<--- Move 2/3 to the right by subtracting it from both sides.
<--- Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction on the left side. Simplify like-terms (common denominators)
<--- Distribute the 5
<--- Move all p-terms to the left side. (Subtract 5p from both sides.)
<--- Simplify left side.
<--- Divide both sides by -2. (Which is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal which is
<--- Solve for P
<--- Simplified version of the answer.
Here is the alternate solution - depending on how the equation is actually written.
