Question 249096
The first step is get all the terms of the expression with a "p" on one side of the expression and the other terms on the other side.

So, 8p+3w = w -15-2p can be rewitten as 8p+2p=w-3w-15.

Then combine "like" terms.  The equation then becomes, 10p= -2w-15.

Since you are being asked to solve for "p", divide both sides of the equation by 10,  Then p = (-2w-15)/10
