1. The problem is to find the value of $p$ in a given question. 2. Since the specific question details are not provided, I will explain the general approach to find $p$ in algebraic equations. 3. Typically, $p$ is a variable in an equation or expression, and to find $p$, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. 4. For example, if the equation is $ap + b = c$, then to find $p$, subtract $b$ from both sides: $$ap = c - b$$ 5. Then divide both sides by $a$ (assuming $a \neq 0$): $$p = \frac{c - b}{a}$$ 6. This method applies to linear equations. For other types of equations, the approach varies but always involves isolating $p$ using algebraic operations. 7. Please provide the specific equation or context to find the exact value of $p$.
