Correct choices:
- multiplying both sides of the equation by 3
- substituting 36 for p to check the solution

Explanation: p/3 = 12. Multiply both sides by 3 (the inverse of dividing by 3) to get p = 36. Substituting p = 36 checks the equation (36/3 = 12). Subtracting 3 or dividing both sides by 3 are not the appropriate inverse operations here; substituting 4 is not a correct check.
