16-3p-\frac{2}{3}p=5
Subtract \frac{2}{3}p from both sides.
16-\frac{11}{3}p=5
Combine -3p and -\frac{2}{3}p to get -\frac{11}{3}p.
-\frac{11}{3}p=5-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-\frac{11}{3}p=-11
Subtract 16 from 5 to get -11.
p=-11\left(-\frac{3}{11}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{3}{11}, the reciprocal of -\frac{11}{3}.
p=3
Multiply -11 times -\frac{3}{11}.
