We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-3p*2p-17*2p-13*2p+1=0

Wy multiply elements

-6p^2-34p-26p+1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6p^2-60p+1=0

a = -6; b = -60; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -602-4·(-6)·1
Δ = 3624
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3624}=\sqrt{4*906}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{906}=2\sqrt{906}$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-60)-2\sqrt{906}}{2*-6}=\frac{60-2\sqrt{906}}{-12}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-60)+2\sqrt{906}}{2*-6}=\frac{60+2\sqrt{906}}{-12}
