How can we solve the equation \(\frac{3(3-p)}{3-{p}^{2}}=0\)?

Below is the solution.



\[\frac{3(3-p)}{3-{p}^{2}}=0\]

1
Multiply both sides by \(3-{p}^{2}\).
\[3(3-p)=0\]

2
Divide both sides by \(3\).
\[3-p=0\]

3
Subtract \(3\) from both sides.
\[-p=-3\]

4
Multiply both sides by \(-1\).
\[p=3\]
