To solve for p, we need to combine like terms, isolate p on one side of the equation, and then solve for p.
First, we need to simplify the left side of the equation by finding a common denominator for the fractions:
P + 2/6 - p - 3/3 = p
The common denominator for 2/6 and 3/3 is 6:
P + 1/3 - p - 2 = p
Next, we need to combine like terms:
P - p + 1/3 - 2 = p
To combine P and -p, we can rewrite P as 1P:
1P - p + 1/3 - 2 = p
Combining the constants -2 and 1/3:
1P - p - 5/3 = p
To isolate p on one side of the equation, we can add p to both sides:
1P - 5/3 = 2p
Now, to solve for p, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2:
(1P - 5/3)/2 = p
Simplifying the right side:
1P/2 - 5/6 = p
So the value of p is p = 1P/2 - 5/6.
P+2/6-p-3/3=p
Find p
