$$2+\frac{6}{p} = \frac{8}{p}$$

$$ \begin{aligned} 2+\frac{6}{p} &= \frac{8}{p}&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ p }. \\[1 em]p\cdot2+p\cdot\frac{6}{p} &= p\cdot\frac{8}{p}&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]2p+6 &= 8&& \text{ move 6 to the right } \\[1 em]2p &= 8-6&& \\[1 em]2p &= 2&& \text{ divide both sides by $ 2 $ } \\[1 em]p &= \frac{2}{2}&& \\[1 em]p &= 1&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
