So your equation looks like 4=23(p−2). What you want to do first is get rid of the fraction cause no one likes fractions. You would do this by multiplying the reciprical which is 32 (just flip the 23). The equation would now look like 4∗32=(p−2) Simplify it down to 6=(p−2). Then add the two to both sides and you would get 8=p. Hope this helped!
4=2/3(p-2)
4 = 2/3p - 4/3 add 4/3 to both sides
5 1/3= 2/3p
16/3 = 2/3p divide both sides by 2/3
p = 16/3 / 2/3
p =16/3 x 3/2
p = 48/6
p = 8
