P = 3

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 3

48-9p=2p+15

Add 9p to both sides

48=2p+15+9p48=2p+15+9p

Simplify 2p+15+9p2p+15+9p to 11p+15

48=11p+15

Subtract 15 from both sides

48−15=11p

Simplify 48-15 to 33

33=11p

Divide both sides by 11

\frac{33}11=p​11/​​33​​=p

Simplify 11​​/33​​ to 3

3=p

Switch sides

p=3

Kono Dio Da!!!
