Answer:

6/4 or 3/2

Explanation:

To this problem, we need to use the distributive property, and we also need to combine like terms.

2p-9=3(2p-5)

2p-9=6p-15

Subtract 2p on both sides

-9=4p-15

Add 15 on both sides

6=4p

Now divide 4 on both sides

6/4 or 3/2

I hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day!

:D
