Sure! Let's solve the equation [tex]\( 7p - 4 = 8 \)[/tex].
1. First, we need to isolate the term containing [tex]\( p \)[/tex]. We start by adding 4 to both sides of the equation to remove the constant term on the left-hand side:
[tex]\[
7p - 4 + 4 = 8 + 4
\][/tex]
Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[
7p = 12
\][/tex]
2. Next, we need to solve for [tex]\( p \)[/tex]. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:
[tex]\[
\frac{7p}{7} = \frac{12}{7}
\][/tex]
Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[
p = \frac{12}{7}
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( p \)[/tex] is [tex]\( \frac{12}{7} \)[/tex].
Thus, the correct answer is [tex]\( \boxed{\frac{12}{7}} \)[/tex].
