To find the value of \( p \) in the equation \( 20p - 3 = 5 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Add 3 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 20p - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3 \] \[ 20p = 8 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by 20:
\[ p = \frac{8}{20} \]
-
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.
