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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -3p = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -3p = 0 + -1
-3p = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-3p = -1

Divide each side by '-3'.
p = 0.3333333333

Simplifying
p = 0.3333333333
Solution
p = {-2, 0.3333333333}
