Simplifying
(p + 3)(p + -5) = 2

Reorder the terms:
(3 + p)(p + -5) = 2

Reorder the terms:
(3 + p)(-5 + p) = 2

Multiply (3 + p) * (-5 + p)
(3(-5 + p) + p(-5 + p)) = 2
((-5 * 3 + p * 3) + p(-5 + p)) = 2
((-15 + 3p) + p(-5 + p)) = 2
(-15 + 3p + (-5 * p + p * p)) = 2
(-15 + 3p + (-5p + p2)) = 2

Combine like terms: 3p + -5p = -2p
(-15 + -2p + p2) = 2

Solving
-15 + -2p + p2 = 2

Solving for variable 'p'.
