Our current equation is: 5p - 20 = 35. To solve for P, we need to get 5P by itself and then simplify if possible. 5p is not by itself yet. Add 20 to both sides. 5p = 55. Now to solve for p, since 5 is being multiplied by p, we need to do the opposite. Divide both sides by 5. p = 11 is your solution. I hope this helps!
