Answer:
p can be -2 OR (2/3)
Explanation:
(p+2)*(3p - 2) = 0
For this equation to hold, either of the two expressions in parentheses could be zero. So set each to zero and solve for two possible solutions:
(p+2) = 0
p = -2
--
(3p - 2) = 0
3p = 2
p = (2/3)
=
If p were either of these values, the whole expression would equate to zero.
