Given:

The given equation is:


16-3p=(2)/(3)p+5

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

We have,


16-3p=(2)/(3)p+5

Multiply both sides by 3.


3(16-3p)=3\left((2)/(3)p+5\right)


48-9p=2p+15

Isolating the variable terms, we get


48-15=2p+9p


33=11p

Divide both sides by 11, we get


(33)/(11)=p


3=p

Therefore, the required solution is
p=3.
