Answer:

p = 78/5

Explanation:

Solve for p:

5 (p - 3) = 63

Divide both sides of 5 (p - 3) = 63 by 5:

(5 (p - 3))/5 = 63/5

5/5 = 1:

p - 3 = 63/5

Add 3 to both sides:

p + (3 - 3) = 63/5 + 3

3 - 3 = 0:

p = 63/5 + 3

Put 63/5 + 3 over the common denominator 5. 63/5 + 3 = 63/5 + (5×3)/5:

p = 63/5 + (5×3)/5

5×3 = 15:

p = 63/5 + 15/5

63/5 + 15/5 = (63 + 15)/5:

p = (63 + 15)/5

63 + 15 = 78:

Answer: p = 78/5
