To solve this equation, we want to get p by itself on one side of the equation.
First, we'll get rid of the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is just p in this case:
5p + 2 = 17
Next, we'll subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with p:
5p = 15
Finally, we'll divide both sides by 5 to solve for p:
p = 3
