Leonardo Castaneda · Answer 1

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3p - 5 = 10

Add 5 to each side

3p-5+5 = 10+5

3p = 15

Divide each side by 3

3p/3 = 15/3

p = 5

Aurora Burke · Answer 2

3 (5p - 3) = 5 (p - 1)

Distributive property.

15p - 9 = 5p - 5

Subtract 5p from both sides.

10p - 9 = - 5

Add 9 to both sides.

10p = 4

Divide both sides by 10.

p = 0.4

The value of p is 0.4.
