I am trying to solve this equation for P:

(P - 0.3)*(1 + (((1013.25^0.190284*0.0065)/
   288)*(A/(P - 0.3)^0.190284)))^(1/0.190284) == Q

When I run:

Solve[(P - 
 0.3)*(1 + (((1013.25^0.190284*0.0065)/
    288)*(A/(P - 0.3)^0.190284)))^(1/0.190284) == Q , P]

Solve does not return a solution for P, it merely returns the original equation.

In response to Michael E2's question, a screenshot of the result I receive follows below:

Why doesn't Solve work for this equation?
