Answer:

A)  p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

3(p - 5) = 5p -27

<u />

Apply the <u>Distributive Property of Multiplication over subtraction law</u>:

⇒ 3 · p - 3 · 5 = 5p - 27

⇒ 3p - 15 = 5p - 27

Add 27 to both sides:

⇒ 3p - 15 + 27 = 5p - 27 + 27

⇒ 3p + 12 = 5p

Subtract 3p from both sides:

⇒ 3p - 3p + 12 = 5p - 3p

⇒ 12 = 2p

⇒ 2p = 12

Divide both sides by 2:

⇒ 2p ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2

⇒ p = 6
