To solve for p, we want to isolate p on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation 3(p + q) = p, let's distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3p + 3q = p
Now, let's subtract 3p from both sides to move all the p terms to one side of the equation:
3q = -2p
Finally, let's divide both sides by -2 to solve for p:
p = -3/2q
Therefore, the correct answer is p = -3/2q.
