Hey there!

The answer is
(-3)/(8)n=2p-5np

Since they are equivalent to each other, we will set them equal to each other, because equivalent means equal to.


(1)/(4)n-(5)/(8)n = p(2-5n)

Now, we will simplify it. First, we will simplify the left side by subtracting. To do this, we can make
(1)/(4) into
(2)/(8). That gives us:


(-3)/(8)n=p(2-5n)

Now, we'll simplify the right side by distributing
p:


(-3)/(8)n=2p-5np

Have a super awesome day! :)
