the answer i got was 17

My work-

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
17/12= /12

12 • 17/12= 12• p/12

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

12• 17/12= 12 • p/12

12•17/12=p

Multiply the numbers

12• 17/12 = p

17=p

Move the variable to the left

17=p

P=17

hopefully that isn’t too confusing
