Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-300 + p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-300 + p = 0

Solving
-300 + p = 0

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

Add '300' to each side of the equation.
-300 + 300 + p = 0 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0
0 + p = 0 + 300
p = 0 + 300

Combine like terms: 0 + 300 = 300
p = 300

p = 300
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(200 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
200 + -1p = 0

Solving
200 + -1p = 0

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

Add '-200' to each side of the equation.
200 + -200 + -1p = 0 + -200

Combine like terms: 200 + -200 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + -200
-1p = 0 + -200

Combine like terms: 0 + -200 = -200
-1p = -200

Divide each side by '-1'.
p = 200

Simplifying
p = 200
Solution
p = {300, 200}
