Answer:
p = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, p. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

First, divide 10 from both sides of the equation:
(10(p - 7))/10 = (180)/10
p - 7 = 180/10
p - 7 = 18
Next, add 7 to both sides of the equation:
p - 7 (+7) = 18 (+7)
p = 18 + 7
p = 25
25 is your answer for p.
