p=2(1-p)-1/6

Solution for p=2(1-p)-1/6 equation:

p=2(1-p)-1/6

We move all terms to the left:

p-(2(1-p)-1/6)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

p-(2(-1p+1)-1/6)=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


p*6)-(2(-1p+1)-1=0

Wy multiply elements

6p^2-1=0

a = 6; b = 0; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·6·(-1)
Δ = 24
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4*6}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{6}}{2*6}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{6}}{12}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{12}
=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{6}
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{6}}{2*6}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{6}}{12}
=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{12}
=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{6}
