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:

   \[ p = \frac{8}{20} \]

3. Simplify the fraction:

   \[ p = \frac{2}{5} \]

The value of \( p \) is \( \frac{2}{5} \), which is not among the responses you provided (3, 1, 7, or 5). It seems there might be a misunderstanding or a mistake in the equation or the options given.
