Answer:

I believe the answer to your question is p = 33

Explanation:

Question: p÷3 - 7.2 = 3.8

Step 1: Add 7.2 to both sides of the equation

p÷3 - 7.2 = 3.8

+7.2 +7.2

p÷3 = 11

Adding 7.2 to both sides cancels out 7.2 on the left and whatever you do unto one side of an equation, you must do to the other (it's just a rule in math)

Step 2: Multiply by 3 on both sides

p÷3 = 11

x 3 x 3

p = 33

Same as last time; multiplying by 3 cancels out 3 on the left and whatever you do unto one side, you must do to the other
