Sure, let's solve for [tex]\( p \)[/tex] in the given equation step-by-step.
We start with the given equation:
[tex]\[ 15 = 3p \][/tex]
To isolate [tex]\( p \)[/tex], we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3. This will help us solve for [tex]\( p \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{15}{3} = \frac{3p}{3} \][/tex]
On the right side, the 3s cancel each other out, leaving us with:
[tex]\[ 5 = p \][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( 15 = 3p \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ p = 5 \][/tex]
Hence, [tex]\( p \)[/tex] equals 5.
