Given:

The equation is:

[tex]5p=3p+12[/tex]

To find:

The value of p.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]5p=3p+12[/tex]

Subtract [tex]3p[/tex] from both sides.

[tex]5p-3p=3p+12-3p[/tex]

[tex]2p=12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]p=\dfrac{12}{2}[/tex]

[tex]p=6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of p is 6.
