Given:
The given equation is:
[tex]16-3p=\dfrac{2}{3}p+5[/tex]
To find:
The value of p.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]16-3p=\dfrac{2}{3}p+5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3.
[tex]3(16-3p)=3\left(\dfrac{2}{3}p+5\right)[/tex]
[tex]48-9p=2p+15[/tex]
Isolating the variable terms, we get
[tex]48-15=2p+9p[/tex]
[tex]33=11p[/tex]
Divide both sides by 11, we get
[tex]\dfrac{33}{11}=p[/tex]
[tex]3=p[/tex]
Therefore, the required solution is [tex]p=3[/tex].
