Given :

To Find :

Solution :

$\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5(p - 3) = 63}}}$

Using Distributive property, we get :

$\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p - 15 = 63}}}$

Now, Transposing (-15) to the right side, which then becomes positive :

$\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p = 63 + 15}}}$

$\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p = 78}}}$

Dividing 5 from both sides we get :

$\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ (5p)/(5) = (78)/(5) }}}$

$\qquad\bf{ { \dashrightarrow{ p = 15.6 }}}$

Given Equation :-

$\qquad$
$\pink{\bf \longrightarrow 5(p-3) = 63}$

We are asked to find the value of p in the above equation.

First multiply (p-3) by 5 –

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow 5 * p - 5 * 3 = 63$

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow 5p - 15 = 63$

Now, add 15 to both sides –

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow 5p -15 +15 = 63 +15$

Now, we can cancel 15 from Left side –

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow 5p - \cancel{15 }+\cancel{15 }= 63 +15$

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow 5p = 78$

Divide both sides by 5–

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow (5p)/(5) = (78)/(5)$

Cancel 5 from left side also cancel 78/5, which can be divided by 15.6.

$\qquad$
$\sf \longrightarrow \frac{\cancel{5}p}{\cancel{5}} =\cancel{( 78)/(5)}$

$\qquad$
$\pink{\bf\longrightarrow p = 15.6}$
