5.1-3.5p+2.3p=0
Add 2.3p to both sides.
5.1-1.2p=0
Combine -3.5p and 2.3p to get -1.2p.
-1.2p=-5.1
Subtract 5.1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
p=\frac{-5.1}{-1.2}
Divide both sides by -1.2.
p=\frac{-51}{-12}
Expand \frac{-5.1}{-1.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
p=\frac{17}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-51}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.
