p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5p - 57 = - 42 ( add 57 to both sides )

5p = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Liam had $250

Cost of gift = p

Total Students = 24 (including Liam)

Each paid:

p/24 (Liam also paid this amount)

So, in terms of Liam, he would have:

250 (already had)

expended p/24 for gift, now he has:

This is amount of money Liam had left in terms of p.
