Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{B.\ x=\dfrac{5}{p}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]px+12=17\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\px+12-12=17-12\\\\px=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ p\neq0\\\\\dfrac{px}{p}=\dfrac{5}{p}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{p}[/tex]
b x = 5/p
px+12=17
Subtract 12 from each side
px+12-12=17-12
px = 5
Divide by p
px/p = 5/p
x = 5/p
