Answer:

The value of p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4 + 3p = 19

To find:

the value of p

To determine p, we need to first subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} \text{4 + 3p - 4 = 19 - 4} \\ 4\text{ - 4 + 3p = 19 - 4} \\ 3p\text{ = 15} \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 3:


\begin{gathered} (3p)/(3)\text{ = }(15)/(3) \\ p\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}

The value of p = 5
