Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 20p - 3 = 5 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Add 3 to both sides of the equation: \[ 20p - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 20p = 8 \]

2. Divide both sides by 20: \[ p = \frac{8}{20} \] This simplifies to: \[ p = \frac{2}{5} \]

The value of \( p \) does not match any of the responses given (1, 3, 7, 5). Thus, please recheck the equation or the available options. If you are looking for a different value, please provide additional context or clarify the options.
