Question 622140
{{{2+p=2p+1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{p=2p+1-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{p-2p=1-2}}} Subtract {{{2p}}} from both sides.



{{{-p=1-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-p=-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(-1)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=1}}} Reduce.
