Markov Chains & Long-Run Behavior · Medium problem

A two-state chain has transition matrix M=(1−p0.3p0.7)M = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - p & 0.3 \\ p & 0.7 \end{pmatrix}, where MijM_{ij} is the probability of moving to state ii from state jj. For what value of pp is the steady-state probability of state 1 equal to 0.60.6? Express your answer as a common fraction.
