Here is a list of technical properties for taking steps without showing those steps:

Additive Inverse of -5;
Multiplicative Inverse of 7;
Any simplifications or computations;
DONE.


THE STEPS TO SOLVE FOR p
64=7p%965
64%2B5=7p%2B%28-5%29%2B5
%2864%2B5%29%281%2F7%29=7p%281%2F7%29%2B0
%2864%2B5%29%2F7=p
highlight%28p=69%2F7%29
