To solve any equation, you need to follow basic rules:

1. Get everything with the variable on one side of the equal sign and everything without a variable on the other side. In this equation, you would move -0.5 to the right side of the equal sign: %28p%2F-7%29+=+1.8
2. Solve for the variable. In this equation, you need to multiply by -7 on both sides to get p+=+-12.6.
