2\left(p-4\right)\times 8=1
Variable p cannot be equal to any of the values -4,4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(p-4\right)\left(p+4\right), the least common multiple of 4p+16,4p^{2}-64.
16\left(p-4\right)=1
Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.
16p-64=1
Use the distributive property to multiply 16 by p-4.
16p=1+64
Add 64 to both sides.
16p=65
Add 1 and 64 to get 65.
p=\frac{65}{16}
Divide both sides by 16.
