Question #f0264

Answer 1

`p=15`

Explanation:

Remember these facts:
Multiplication and division cancel each other out
Addition and subtraction cancel each other out.

In the equation `p/3-7=-2`, we need to cancel subtraction and division.

Therefore, first, we add 7 on both sides.
`p/3-cancel7+cancel7=-2+7`
`p/3=5`

We now multiply both sides by 3.
`cancel3(p/cancel3)=3(5)`
`p=15`
That is our answer!
