    3 = p

    Step-by-step explanation:

    16-3p=2/3p+5

    subtract 5 from each side

    16-5-3p=2/3p+5-5

    11 - 3p = 2/3 p

    add 3p to each side

    11 - 3p+3p = 2/3 p+3p

    11 = 3 2/3 p

    change the mixed number to an improper fraction

    3 2/3 = (3*3+2) / 3 = 11/3

    11 = 11/3p

    multiply by 3/11 to clear the fraction

    3/11 * 11 = 3/11 * 11/3 p

    3 = p
