In lowercase instead,
p%2F%28p-2%29%2B4%2F%28p-1%29=5, only a best-guess what you meant.

%28%28p-2%29%28p-1%29%29%28p%2F%28p-2%29%2B4%2F%28p-1%29%29=%28%28p-2%29%28p-1%29%295

p%28p-1%29%2B4%28p-2%29=5%28p%5E2-3p%2B2%29

p%5E2-p%2B4p-8=5p%5E2-15p%2B10

-4p-8=4p%5E2-15p%2B10

4p%5E2-11p%2B18=0

The solutions are complex but not real.
