This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.
B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation
2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution
2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication
-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides
= p # Divide both sides from 2
p = # Use the reflexive property of equality
Hope this helps!
