4%28p-3%29%2B2%28p-5%29=0 Start with the given equation



4p-12%2B2p-10=0 Distribute


6p-22=0 Combine like terms on the left side


6p=0%2B22Add 22 to both sides


6p=22 Combine like terms on the right side


p=%2822%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate p



p=11%2F3 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is p=11%2F3 (which is approximately p=3.667 in decimal form)
