Answer 13

Step 1. Combine all like terms where they are.
In your case, combine all like terms on the right side

\(9p-15=p+5p-2p\)

\(9p-15=4p\)

There are no like terms on the left side, so step 1 is done.
Ok so far?

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

Step 2.
Now we want all terms with p on the left side, so we subtract 4p from both sides.

\(~~~9p-15=~~~4p\)
\(-4p ~~~~~~~~~~~~~-4p\)

We get:

\(5p - 15 = 0\)

Answer 16

Step 3.
Now we want the number (with no variable) on the right side, so we add 15 to both sides.

\(~~~5p - 15 ~~~= ~~~~~~0\)
\(~~~~~~~~+15~~~~~~~+15\)

We get:

\(5p = 15\)

Ok so far?

Answer 17

yes then divide then 3 THANKS. ;)

Answer 18

Correct.
Step 4.
We want p alone, so we divide both sides by 5

\(\dfrac{5p}{5} = \dfrac{15}{5} \)

\(p = 3\)
