Answer
$$ p = \dfrac{7}{4} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} p+\frac{1}{4} &= 2&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 4 }. \\[1 em]4p+4\cdot\frac{1}{4} &= 4\cdot2&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]4p+1 &= 8&& \text{ move 1 to the right } \\[1 em]4p &= 8-1&& \\[1 em]4p &= 7&& \text{ divide both sides by $ 4 $ } \\[1 em]p &= \frac{7}{4}&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
