Answer:
a = (p - 3b)/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
p = 10a + 3b
First, subtract 3b from both sides.
p (-3b) = 10a + 3b (-3b)
p - 3b = 10a
Next, isolate the a. Divide 10 from both sides.
(p - 3b)/10 = (10a)/10
(p - 3b)/10 = a
a = (p - 3b)/10 is your answer.

It would be great if you added some more details, but for common denominators you try to find the least common number that the 2 or more of the numbers you got have!
For example:
1/2 and 2/3 if you multiply 2 by 3 and 3 by 2, they both are 6, so you would multiply 1/2 both by 3 to make it into 3/6 and 2/3 by 2 to make it into 4/6!
