8p_{3}=x\times 3p_{2}
Variable p_{2} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3p_{2}.
x\times 3p_{2}=8p_{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3xp_{2}=8p_{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3xp_{2}}{3x}=\frac{8p_{3}}{3x}
Divide both sides by 3x.
p_{2}=\frac{8p_{3}}{3x}
Dividing by 3x undoes the multiplication by 3x.
p_{2}=\frac{8p_{3}}{3x}\text{, }p_{2}\neq 0
Variable p_{2} cannot be equal to 0.
8p_{3}=x\times 3p_{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3p_{2}.
8p_{3}=3p_{2}x
Reorder the terms.
\frac{8p_{3}}{8}=\frac{3p_{2}x}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
p_{3}=\frac{3p_{2}x}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
