#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!
