Simplifying
0.5(p + 2) = 0.75(p + -2)

Reorder the terms:
0.5(2 + p) = 0.75(p + -2)
(2 * 0.5 + p * 0.5) = 0.75(p + -2)
(1 + 0.5p) = 0.75(p + -2)

Reorder the terms:
1 + 0.5p = 0.75(-2 + p)
1 + 0.5p = (-2 * 0.75 + p * 0.75)
1 + 0.5p = (-1.5 + 0.75p)

Solving

Combine like terms: 0.5p + -0.75p = -0.25p
1 + -0.25p = -1.5 + 0.75p + -0.75p

Combine like terms: 0.75p + -0.75p = 0.00
1 + -0.25p = -1.5 + 0.00
1 + -0.25p = -1.5

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -0.25p = -1.5 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -0.25p = -1.5 + -1
-0.25p = -1.5 + -1
