Answer:

p=1

Explanation:

We are given that an equation

(2)/(5)+p=(4)/(5)+(3)/(5)p

We have to find the solution of given linear equation .

Subtraction property of equality

$p-(3)/(5)p+(2)/(5)=\frac{4}[5}$

(5p-3p)/(5)+(2)/(5)=(4)/(5)

Combine like terms

(2)/(5)p+(2)/(5)=(4)/(5)

(2)/(5)p=(4)/(5)-(2)/(5)

Subtraction property of equality

(2)/(5)p=(2)/(5)

When a fraction term in multiply goes form one side to other side then the term will be reciprocal.

p=(2)/(5)* (5)/(2)

p=1

Hence, p=1

p=1

To better understand the problem see the attached figure

we have

(2)/(5)+p=(4)/(5)+(3)/(5)p

Multiply by
both sides

5((2)/(5)+p)=5((4)/(5)+(3)/(5)p)

2+5p=4+3p

Group terms that contain the same variable p and move the constant to the other side of the equation

5p-3p=4-2

2p=2

p=1
