you move first the number without the variable to the other side with the opposite sign

-0.75p=0.25+2

-0.75p=2.25

then as -0.75 is multiplying you pass it to the other side dividing

p=2.25/-0.75

p=-3

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.


Isolate the p. Add 0.75p to both sides.


-0.75p (+0.75p) - 2 = 0.25p ( +0.75p)


Simplify

-2 = 1p


p = -2


-2 is your answer


Hope this helps
