px^{2}-p+10-2px=4x
Subtract 2px from both sides.
px^{2}-p-2px=4x-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
\left(x^{2}-1-2x\right)p=4x-10
Combine all terms containing p.
\left(x^{2}-2x-1\right)p=4x-10
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{2}-2x-1\right)p}{x^{2}-2x-1}=\frac{4x-10}{x^{2}-2x-1}
Divide both sides by x^{2}-2x-1.
p=\frac{4x-10}{x^{2}-2x-1}
Dividing by x^{2}-2x-1 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}-2x-1.
p=\frac{2\left(2x-5\right)}{x^{2}-2x-1}
Divide 4x-10 by x^{2}-2x-1.
