-2a=p-5-7w
Subtract 7w from both sides.
-2a=p-7w-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2a}{-2}=\frac{p-7w-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
a=\frac{p-7w-5}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
a=\frac{5+7w-p}{2}
Divide p-5-7w by -2.
p-5=7w-2a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
p=7w-2a+5
Add 5 to both sides.
