pm=2p+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{pm}{p}=\frac{2p+5}{p}
Divide both sides by p.
m=\frac{2p+5}{p}
Dividing by p undoes the multiplication by p.
m=2+\frac{5}{p}
Divide 2p+5 by p.
pm-5-2p=0
Subtract 2p from both sides.
pm-2p=5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(m-2\right)p=5
Combine all terms containing p.
\frac{\left(m-2\right)p}{m-2}=\frac{5}{m-2}
Divide both sides by m-2.
p=\frac{5}{m-2}
Dividing by m-2 undoes the multiplication by m-2.
