Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. \\( \frac{p}{2} - 7 = -1 \\) \\( \frac{p}{2} = \square \\) \\( p = \square \\) options: add 7 to both sides, subtract 7 from both sides, multiply both sides by 7, divide both sides by 7, apply the distributive property

Explanation:

Step1: Add 7 to both sides

$\frac{p}{2} - 7 + 7 = -1 + 7$
$\frac{p}{2} = 6$

Step2: Multiply both sides by 2

$\frac{p}{2} \times 2 = 6 \times 2$
$p = 12$

Answer:

Missing description (first step): Add 7 to both sides
$\frac{p}{2} = 6$
$p = 12$
