Answer:

p = 2

Explanation:

One is given the following equation:

3p + 2p + 8 - 3 = 15

Combine like terms. In essence, if two number have the same variable, then one can perform operations between their coefficients. If two number have no variables, then these two terms are also like terms. After combing like terms, simplify the expression.

3p + 2p + 8 - 3 = 15

5p + 8 - 3 = 15

5p + 5 = 15

Inverse operations,

5p + 5 = 15

5p = 10

p = 2
