First off, if your boyfriend puts the time he will propose to you in an algebraic form, I think you should reject him for being a tool. That being said, lets get to the math:
We've got

if you factor the top left part (I'm assuming you're cool with factoring), you get:

the terms on the left cancel out, and you've got

I'll combine the number terms on the right

Ok, I'll subtract a p from each side

and add 3/2 to each side

Divide by two

I got what you got.
