For this case we have the following equation: [tex]33 = p - 6.71
[/tex] To solve the equation we can follow the following steps: 1) Add 6.71 on both sides of the equation: [tex]33 + 6.71 = p - 6.71 + 6.71
[/tex] 2) Rewrite the right side of the equation: [tex]33 + 6.71 = p + 0
33 + 6.71 = p[/tex] 3) Add the values of the left side of the equation: [tex]39.71 = p
[/tex] Answer: The value of p is given by: [tex]p = 39.71
[/tex] option 2
