Answer 1

Answer:

$p=\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3p+\frac{1}{8}=-\frac{1}{4}$

Subtract $\frac{1}{8}$ from both sides:

$-3p=-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}$

Multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ and simplify:

$-3p=-\frac{3}{8}$

Divide both sides by -3:

$p=\frac{3}{24}$

Simplify:

$p=\frac{1}{8}$
