so first, you need to separate the expression and numbers. For me, i would prefer putting the expressuon on the left hand side and numbers on the right hand side. this will make the solving more clearer and easier to solve.
10p+5=18p-62
10p-18p=-62-5
-8p =-67
p= 8.375

the answer should be
p= 8.375. but however it is not in the option.
