Explanation:

Sure, I can help you with that problem!

To find the value of p, you have the equation:

(3/2)p = 7

To isolate p, you need to divide both sides of the equation by (3/2):

(3/2)p / (3/2) = 7 / (3/2)

Simplifying the right side:

7 / (3/2) = 7 x (2/3) = 14/3

So now you have:

p = 14/3 ÷ (3/2)

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so you can rewrite this as:

p = 14/3 x (2/3)

Simplifying:

p = 28/9

Therefore, the value of p is 28/9. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!
