2/5p=3/5
member that to solve we want to isolate 1 p one side by itself
also remember that we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides (except divide by zero)
2/5p=2p/5= p times 2/5
remember to make a fraction =1 multily it by it's flip ex, tomake 2/5 =1 multiply it by 5/2 to make it 10/10=1


2/5p=3/5
multiply both sides by 5/2
10/10p=15/10
1p=15/10
p=15/10
p=3/2


so the step is
multiply both sides by 5/2 and simplify
