Question 904668
{{{5p-1=2p+20}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5p=2p+20+1}}} Add {{{1}}} to both sides.



{{{5p-2p=20+1}}} Subtract {{{2p}}} from both sides.



{{{3p=20+1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3p=21}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(21)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.



{{{p=7}}} Reduce.
