DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 0.36%2Ap%2B0.26=highlight_red%28+3.86+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-3.86+%29
It becomes 0.36%2Ap%2B0.26-highlight_green%28+3.86+%29=0.
Look at 0.36%2Ap%2Bhighlight_red%28+0.26+%29-highlight_red%28+3.86+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 0.36%2Ap-highlight_green%28+360%2F100+%29=0.
Look at 0.36%2Ap-highlight_red%28+360+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+100+%29=0.
Factors 360 and 100 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 20. Reducing fraction.
It becomes 0.36%2Ap-highlight_green%28+18+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+5+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+0.36%2Ap-18%2F5+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+0.36%2Ap-18%2F5=0+%29 equivalent to 0.36*p-3.6 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: p=10.
