Solve the following equation
0.2p+6.8=0.3p+4.7
Solve for p
0.2p + 6.8 = 0.3p + 4.7
Group our variables 0.2p and 0.3p subtract 0.3p from both sides
0.2p + 6.8 - 0.3p = 0.3p + 4.7 - 0.3p
-0.1p + 6.8 = 4.7
Group our constants 6.8 and 4.7. subtract 6.8 from both sides
-0.1p + 6.8 - 6.8 = 4.7 - 6.8
-0.1p = -2.1
p = 21
