Question

5p + 3 = 15 How do you solve this?

Answer 1

Consider the following equation:

`5p\text{ + 3 = 15}`

Solving for 5p, this is equivalent to:

`5p\text{ = 15-3}`

this is equivalent to:

`5p=12`

solving for p, we get:

`p\text{ = }(12)/(5)`

so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`p\text{ = }(12)/(5)`
