.2(p-5)=p

Solution for .2(p-5)=p equation:

Simplifying
0.2(p + -5) = p

Reorder the terms:
0.2(-5 + p) = p
(-5 * 0.2 + p * 0.2) = p
(-1 + 0.2p) = p

Solving
-1 + 0.2p = p

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1p' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 0.2p + -1p = p + -1p

Combine like terms: 0.2p + -1p = -0.8p
-1 + -0.8p = p + -1p

Combine like terms: p + -1p = 0
-1 + -0.8p = 0

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -0.8p = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -0.8p = 0 + 1
-0.8p = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-0.8p = 1

Divide each side by '-0.8'.
p = -1.25

Simplifying
p = -1.25
