For this problem:
%28p-4%29%2F9p=7%2F9
You would cross multiply in this problem:
9%28p-4%29=7%289p%29
9p-36=63p
Next, you would subtract the 9p from both sides of the equation to get 'p' by itself:
-36=63p-9p
-36=54p
Now, get 'p' by itself by dividing 54 to both sides of the equation:
-36%2F54=54p%2F54
-2%2F3=p
