$\"7+-+p+=+3p+%2B+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7-5-p=3p%2B5-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2-p=3p\"$ add p to both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=3p%2Bp\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=4p\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4p=2\"$ divide by 4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p=1%2F2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
