6p+4/6=4p-8/3 The goal is to always isolate the variable which in this case is p
First bring 4p to the left by subtracting (opposite operation) 4p from both sides. We are left with 2p+4/6=-8/3. We will continue isolating the variable by bring 4/6 to the right by subtracting it from both sides.
We are left with 2p=-10/3
Then divide (opposite operation) both sides by 2 to get p=-5/3
