Answer:

p = (7 - 6)/5

Explanation:

Given the expression 5 p + 6 = 7, to know the value of variable p. we need to make p the subject of the formula as shown;

Given 5 p + 6 = 7

Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides

5p+6-6 = 7-6

5p = 7-6

Step 2: We will then divide both sides by the coefficient of p i.e 5 to have;

5p/5 = (7 - 6)/5

p = (7 - 6)/5

Hence, the correct expression of variable p is p = (7 - 6)/5
