Question

7. Subtracting 5 from p ,the result is 3.What is the value of p ​

Answer 1

Answer:

p=7 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

p-5=2

p=2+5=7

Answer 2

Given :–

• Subtracting 5 from p.
• After subtracting 5 from p, then the result will be 3.

To Find :–

• Value of p.

Solution :–

Given,

Subtracting 5 from p.

It means,

→ 5 – p

And the result is 3.

It means,

→ 5 – p = 3 ––– (1)

Now,

Solve this for p.

→ 5 – 3 = p

→ 2 = p

Hence,

The value of p is 2.

Check :–

Put the value of p in equation (1),

→ 5 – p = 3

→ 5 – 2 = 3

→ 3 = 3

Since, the L.H.S. and the R.H.S. are equal.

So, the value of p = 2 is correct.
