#p=25.5#

Lets get rid of the decimals. Multiply both sides by 100

#100[color(white)(2/2)0.23(4p-9)-pcolor(white)(2/2)]=100[color(white)(2/2)0.06(8-3p)color(white)(2/2)]#

#23(4p-9)-100p=6(8-3p)#

#92p-207-100p=48-18p#

Add 18p to both sides

#92p-100p+18p-207=48#

Add 207 to both sides

#92p-100p+18p=48+207#

#10p=255#

divide both sides by 109#

#p=255/10 = 25.5#
