Question

complete the process of solving the equation.
fill in the missing term on each line. simplify any fractions.
$13p + 19 - 3 = 16$
$13p + \square = 16$ combine like terms
$13p = \square$ subtract 16 from both sides
$p = \square$ divide both sides by 13

Explanation:

Step1: Combine constant terms

$19 - 3 = 16$
So $13p + 16 = 16$

Step2: Subtract 16 from both sides

$13p = 16 - 16$
$13p = 0$

Step3: Divide by 13 on both sides

$p = \frac{0}{13}$
$p = 0$

Answer:

First blank: 16
Second blank: 0
Third blank: 0
