ex^{2}+px-3x+p=0
Use the distributive property to multiply p-3 by x.
px-3x+p=-ex^{2}
Subtract ex^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
px+p=-ex^{2}+3x
Add 3x to both sides.
\left(x+1\right)p=-ex^{2}+3x
Combine all terms containing p.
\left(x+1\right)p=3x-ex^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)p}{x+1}=\frac{x\left(3-ex\right)}{x+1}
Divide both sides by x+1.
p=\frac{x\left(3-ex\right)}{x+1}
Dividing by x+1 undoes the multiplication by x+1.
