Write Equation: Write down the equation given in the problem.(75)=p+(74)
Isolate p: To solve for p, we need to isolate p on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting (74) from both sides of the equation.75−74=p+74−74
Subtract: Perform the subtraction on both sides.(75)−(74)=p+0
Simplify: Simplify both sides of the equation. 71=p
Find p: We have isolated p and found its value.p=71
