Answer 1

To solve the equation \(\frac{p - 2}{4} = 5\), follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
p - 2 = 5 \times 4
\]

\[
p - 2 = 20
\]

2. Next, add 2 to both sides to solve for \(p\):

\[
p = 20 + 2
\]

\[
p = 22
\]

Thus, the solution of the equation is

\[
\boxed{22}
\]
