Find the solution for p, if the equation is 12p = 60.

The solution of an equation is the value of the variable in an equation that satisfies the equation.

Given: 12p = 60

To check which of the following value is the solution to the given equation, we can use the trial and error method.

Put p = 5, 12$\times$5 = 60 = 60, so 5 is the solution.

Put p = 12, 12$\times$12 = 144 $\ne$ 60, so 12 is not the solution.

Put p = 30, 12$\times$30 = 360 $\ne$60, so 30 is not the solution.

Put p = 6, 12$\times$6 = 72 $\ne$60, so 6 is not the solution.

Hence, p = 5 is the solution.
