Answer:
p = 78/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for p:
5 (p - 3) = 63
Divide both sides of 5 (p - 3) = 63 by 5:
(5 (p - 3))/5 = 63/5
5/5 = 1:
p - 3 = 63/5
Add 3 to both sides:
p + (3 - 3) = 63/5 + 3
3 - 3 = 0:
p = 63/5 + 3
Put 63/5 + 3 over the common denominator 5. 63/5 + 3 = 63/5 + (5×3)/5:
p = 63/5 + (5×3)/5
5×3 = 15:
p = 63/5 + 15/5
63/5 + 15/5 = (63 + 15)/5:
p = (63 + 15)/5
63 + 15 = 78:
Answer: p = 78/5
