p=15

Explanation:

Remember these facts:
Multiplication and division cancel each other out
Addition and subtraction cancel each other out.

In the equation p/3-7=-2, we need to cancel subtraction and division.

Therefore, first, we add 7 on both sides.
p/3-cancel7+cancel7=-2+7
p/3=5

We now multiply both sides by 3.
cancel3(p/cancel3)=3(5)
p=15
That is our answer!
