$\frac{ p }{ 3 }+\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=4.75$
Convert the decimal into a fraction$\frac{ p }{ 3 }+\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 19 }{ 4 }$
Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$$4p+30=57$
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign$4p=57-30$
Subtract the numbers$4p=27$
Divide both sides of the equation by $4$$\begin{align*}&p=\frac{ 27 }{ 4 } \\&\begin{array} { l }p=6 \frac{ 3 }{ 4 },& p=6.75\end{array}\end{align*}$
