$2p-6=53+5p$

$2p-6-5p=53$

$2p-5p=53+6$

$-3p=53+6$

$-3p=59$

$\begin{align*}&p=-\frac{ 59 }{ 3 } \\&\begin{array} { l }p=-19 \frac{ 2 }{ 3 },& p=-19.\overline{ 6 }\end{array}\end{align*}$

User One of the applications of the derivative of a function is its use in Physics, where a function that at every instant t associates the number s(t), this function s is called the clockwise function of the movement. By deriving the time function we obtain the velocity function at time t, denoted by v(t). A body has a time function that determines its position in meters at time t as S(t)=t.³√t+2.t . Present the speed of this body at time t = 8 s.
