Solve for p 4(p+3)=36

$4 (p + 3) = 36$

Step 1

Divide each term in $4 (p + 3) = 36$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 (p + 3) = 36$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 (p + 3)}{4} = \frac{36}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 (p + 3)}{4} = \frac{36}{4}$

Divide $p + 3$ by $1$ .

$p + 3 = \frac{36}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $36$ by $4$ .

$p + 3 = 9$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $p$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$p = 9 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $9$ .

$p = 6$
