4%2B3p=2%2B5%281-p%29 Start with the given equation.


4%2B3p=2%2B5-5p Distribute.


4%2B3p=-5p%2B7 Combine like terms on the right side.


3p=-5p%2B7-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


3p%2B5p=7-4 Add 5p to both sides.


8p=7-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


8p=3 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%283%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate p.

Answer:

So the answer is p=3%2F8 which in decimal form is p=0.375.
