To solve the equation \( p + 4.7 = 12.9 \), you need to isolate \( p \).
Subtract \( 4.7 \) from both sides of the equation:
\[
p + 4.7 - 4.7 = 12.9 - 4.7
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
p = 12.9 - 4.7
\]
Now calculate the right side:
\[
12.9 - 4.7 = 8.2
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
p = 8.2
\]
Subtract \( 4.7 \) from both sides of the equation:
\[
p + 4.7 - 4.7 = 12.9 - 4.7
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
p = 12.9 - 4.7
\]
Now calculate the right side:
\[
12.9 - 4.7 = 8.2
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
p = 8.2
\]
