Answer:

p=25

Explanation:

p -13=12

group like terms

send the number without a letter to the right hand side of the equation

p=12+13

13 becomes + because it was negative on the left hand side

if you are sending numbers over equal signs like


> ... < ...\leqslant.... \geqslant

if the number is + it will become -

- become +

add them

therefore p =25
