p = -1

Simplifying
p = -1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -3p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -3p = 0

Solving
1 + -3p = 0

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 = {-1, 0.3333333333}
