Solution:
Consider the following equation:
[tex]5p\text{ + 3 = 15}[/tex]Solving for 5p, this is equivalent to:
[tex]5p\text{ = 15-3}[/tex]this is equivalent to:
[tex]5p=12[/tex]solving for p, we get:
[tex]p\text{ = }\frac{12}{5}[/tex]so that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:
[tex]p\text{ = }\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
