Answer:


p=(5)/(24).

Explanation:

1. Write the expression.


-(2)/(3p) +(1)/(5) -1+(5)/(6p)

2. Equal the expression to 0.


-(2)/(3p) +(1)/(5) -1+(5)/(6p)=0

3. Substract
(1)/(5) from both sides.


-(2)/(3p) +(1)/(5) -1+(5)/(6p)-(1)/(5) =-(1)/(5) \\ \\-(2)/(3p) } -1+(5)/(6p)=-(1)/(5)

4. Add 1 to both sides.


-(2)/(3p) } -1+(5)/(6p)+1=-(1)/(5)+1\\ \\-(2)/(3p) } +(5)/(6p)=-(1)/(5)+1\\ \\-(2)/(3p) } +(5)/(6p)=-(1)/(5)+(5)/(5) \\ \\-(2)/(3p) } +(5)/(6p)=(4)/(5)

5. Simplify the left side by solvind the addition, factorize 1/p.


(1)/(p) (-(2)/(3) } +(5)/(6))=(4)/(5) \\ \\(1)/(p) ((1)/(6))=(4)/(5)

6. Multiply by the reciprocal of 1/6 (6).


(1)/(p) ((1)/(6))*6=(4)/(5)*6 \\ \\(1)/(p)=(24)/(5)

7. Inverse both sides of the equation.


p=(5)/(24)

8. Express your result.


p=(5)/(24).
