Question

please help me solve 51=7p-5

Answer 1

The given expression is

$51=7p-5$

First, we add 5 on each side

$\begin{gathered} 51+5=7p-5+5 \\ 56=7p \end{gathered}$

Then, we divide the equation by 7

$\begin{gathered} \frac{56}{7}=\frac{7p}{7} \\ p=8 \end{gathered}$

Hence, p = 8 is the solution.
