p = -3

Simplifying
p = -3
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + -1p = 0

Solving
4 + -1p = 0

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

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1p = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + -4
-1p = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1p = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.
p = 4

Simplifying
p = 4
Solution
p = {-3, 4}
