-2a=p-5-2w
Subtract 2w from both sides.
-2a=p-2w-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2a}{-2}=\frac{p-2w-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
a=\frac{p-2w-5}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
a=-\frac{p}{2}+w+\frac{5}{2}
Divide p-5-2w by -2.
p-5=2w-2a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
p=2w-2a+5
Add 5 to both sides.
