The key to solving this problem is to do it step by step.
1/2(1/3-1/p)=1/4
1/6-1/2p=1/4
1/6=1/2p+1/4
1/6-1/4=1/2p
2/12-3/12=1/2p
-1/12=1/2p
-2/12 or -1/6=p
That's what p is given the equation you have given me. Why
are you doing math on a Saturday night? Do you have a busy
week ahead with other things?

1/2(1/3-1/p) = 1/4
==> 1/2 (p-3)1/3 = 1/4
==> (p-3)/6 = 1/4
==> p-3 = 6/4
==> p-3= 3/2
==> p = 3/2+3
==> p = (3+6)/2
==> p = 9/2
==> p = 4.5
This is the answer. Hope your answer was also this. Enjoy maths.

1/2(1/3 - 1/p) = 1/4
1/3 - 1/p = 1/2
1/3 - 1/2 = 1/p
1/p = -1/6
p= - 6

1/2(1/3-1/p)=1/4
1/6-1/2p=1/4
-1/2p=1/4-1/6
-1/2p=1/12
2p=-12
p=-6

1/2(1/3-1/p)=1/4
1/6-1/2p=1/4
-1/2p=1/4-1/6
p=((1/4)/(-1/2))-((1/6)/(-1/2))
p=-1/2+1/3
p=(-3+2)/6
p=-1/6
