Full solution

Q. Solve for pp.\newlinep53=1p - \frac{5}{-3} = -1\newlinep=p = _____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Simplify left side: Step 11: Simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying 5-5 by 13-\frac{1}{3}.\newlinep+53=1p + \frac{5}{3} = -1
  2. Add to isolate pp: Step 22: Add 53-\frac{5}{3} to both sides to isolate pp.p=153p = -1 - \frac{5}{3}
  3. Convert to fractions: Step 33: Convert 1-1 to a fraction with denominator 33 to simplify the subtraction.\newlinep=3353p = -\frac{3}{3} - \frac{5}{3}
  4. Add fractions: Step 44: Add the fractions.\newlinep=353p = \frac{-3 - 5}{3}
  5. Calculate sum: Step 55: Calculate the sum. p=83p = -\frac{8}{3}
