Final Answer:
p = (1)/(2)

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Solve the equation
4(2p + 3) = 16.

Step 1: Divide both sides by
4.


2p + 3 = (16)/(4)

Step 2: Simplify
(16)/(4) to
4.


2p + 3 = 4

Step 3: Subtract
3 from both sides.


2p = 4 - 3

Step 4: Simplify
4 - 3 to
1.


2p = 1

Step 5: Divide both sides by
2.


p = (1)/(2)
