Question

complete the process of solving the equation.
fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions.
3p + 3 + 8 = 14
3p + 11 = 14
blank
3p = blank
p = blank
blank
subtract 11 from both sides
divide both sides by 3

Explanation:

Step1: Combine constant terms

$3p + (3+8) = 14$
$3p + 11 = 14$

Step2: Subtract 11 from both sides

$3p + 11 - 11 = 14 - 11$
$3p = 3$

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3p}{3} = \frac{3}{3}$
$p = 1$

Answer:

Missing description (first blank): Combine like constant terms
$3p = 3$
$p = 1$
