Answer 1

To find the value of \( p \) in the equation \( 20p - 3 = 5 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Add 3 to both sides of the equation: \[ 20p - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3 \] \[ 20p = 8 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 20: \[ p = \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5} \]

The value of \( p \) is \( \frac{2}{5} \), which is not one of the options given (1, 7, 3, or 5). Please check if the equation was transmitted correctly or if the answer options are accurate.
