[Math] Why is a unique Sylow p-subgroup normal

abstract-algebranormal-subgroupssylow-theory

I need to prove that a group $G$ with $|G| = pq$, where $p$, $q$ are primes, cannot be simple. I have already reduced this problem to showing that a unique Sylow $p$-subgroup is normal. The answers i have found so far are something along the line of "the Sylow $p$-subgroup is normal because all $p$-Sylow subgroups are conjugate to each other" which means diddly-squat to me. I need help understanding that last part.

Suppose that $H$ is the unique $p$-Sylow subgroup, for any $g\in G, gHg^{-1}$ is also a $p$-Sylow subgroup since it has the same cardinal than $H$, since $H$ is the unique $p$-Sylow subgroup, $gHg^{-1}=H$ so for every $h\in H, ghg^{-1}\in H$ and $H$ is normal.
