Question
Solve the equation
Solve for p
Solve for s
p=0p=s
Evaluate
s×p1×1=p2s2
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
s×p1×1
Rewrite the expression
s×p1
Multiply the terms
ps
ps=p2s2
Cross multiply
sp2=ps2
Simplify the equation
sp2=s2p
Rewrite the expression
sp2=s×sp
Evaluate
p2=sp
Move the expression to the left side
p2−sp=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
p2−sp
Rewrite the expression
p×p−ps
Factor out p from the expression
p(p−s)
p(p−s)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
p=0p−s=0
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
p−s=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
p=0+s
Add the terms
p=s
p=0p=s
