\huge\text{Hey there!}


\textsf{28 + 24p = 36}


\textsf{24p + 28 = 36}


\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 28 to BOTH SIDES}


\textsf{24p + 28 - 28 = 36 - 28}


\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 28 - 28 because that gives you 0}


\large\textsf{KEEP: 36 - 28 because that helps solve for the p-value}


\textsf{36 - 28 = \bf 8}


\large\textsf{NEW EQUATION: 24p = 8}


\large\textsf{DIVIDE 24 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(24p)/(24)=(8)/(24)}


\large\textsf{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(24)/(24)}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}


\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(8)/(24)}\large\textsf{ because that helps you solve for the p-value any}\\\\\large\textsf{gives you the value of it}


\mathsf{p= (8)/(24)}\\\\\\\mathsf{p = (8/8)/(24/8)}\\\\\\\mathsf{8/8=\bf 1}\\\\\mathsf{24/8=\bf 3}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf p = (1)/(3)}}}\huge\checkmark


\large\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
