    p1 = 15 + (1/6) (15+ p1/4)

    multiply both sides by 6

    6p1 = 90 + (15+p1/4)

    multiply both sides by 4

    24p1 = 360 + 60 + p1

    24p1-p1 = 420

    23p1 = 420

    divide both sides by 23

    p1 = 420/23

    6 p1 = 90 + 15 + p1/4

    6 p1 = 105 + p1/4

    24 p1 = 420 + p1

    23 p1 = 420

    p1 = 420 / 23

    x = 15 + 1 / 6 * ( 15 + x / 4)

    x = 15 + (15 / 6) + (1 / 24)x

    x - (1 / 24)x = (90 + 15) / 6

    (23 / 24)x = 105 / 6

    (23 / 24)x = 35 / 2

    (46 / 24)x = 35

    x = 35 * (24 / 46)

    x = 840 / 46

    x = 420 / 23

    p1=15 +15/6 +p1 /24

    23*p1 /24=35/2

    p1=420/23
