2k\left(-3p+1\right)=5
Multiply both sides of the equation by -3p+1.
-6kp+2k=5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2k by -3p+1.
\left(-6p+2\right)k=5
Combine all terms containing k.
\left(2-6p\right)k=5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2-6p\right)k}{2-6p}=\frac{5}{2-6p}
Divide both sides by -6p+2.
k=\frac{5}{2-6p}
Dividing by -6p+2 undoes the multiplication by -6p+2.
k=\frac{5}{2\left(1-3p\right)}
Divide 5 by -6p+2.
2k\left(-3p+1\right)=5
Variable p cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -3p+1.
-6kp+2k=5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2k by -3p+1.
-6kp=5-2k
Subtract 2k from both sides.
\left(-6k\right)p=5-2k
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-6k\right)p}{-6k}=\frac{5-2k}{-6k}
Divide both sides by -6k.
p=\frac{5-2k}{-6k}
Dividing by -6k undoes the multiplication by -6k.
p=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{6k}
Divide 5-2k by -6k.
p=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{6k}\text{, }p\neq \frac{1}{3}
Variable p cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3}.
