Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + -0.5) equal to 0.16 and -0.16.

Subproblem 1

p + -0.5 = 0.16 Simplifying p + -0.5 = 0.16 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + p = 0.16 Solving -0.5 + p = 0.16 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + p = 0.16 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = 0.16 + 0.5 p = 0.16 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0.16 + 0.5 = 0.66 p = 0.66 Simplifying p = 0.66

Subproblem 2

p + -0.5 = -0.16 Simplifying p + -0.5 = -0.16 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + p = -0.16 Solving -0.5 + p = -0.16 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + p = -0.16 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = -0.16 + 0.5 p = -0.16 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.16 + 0.5 = 0.34 p = 0.34 Simplifying p = 0.34

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. p = {0.66, 0.34}
