An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. The solution of an equation is the value that when substituted for the variable makes the equation a true statement.

Example: 3x + 5 = 14 is an equation, in which 3x+5 and 14 are two expressions separated by an ‘’equal’’ sign.

Step 1: Simplify each side of the equation by removing parenthesis and combining the like terms.

Step 2: Use addition or subtraction to isolate the variable term on one side (preferably in the left side).

Step 3: Use Multiplication or Division to solve for the variable.

$12p=60$

Now solving the equation$12p=60$with proper steps

$\begin{array}{l}12p=60\\ \frac{12p}{12}\text{ â¶Ä‰}=\text{ â¶Ä‰}\frac{60}{12}\text{ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â€‰divide â¶Ä‰both â¶Ä‰sides â¶Ä‰by â¶Ä‰12}\\ p=5\end{array}$

Solution of the equation is$p=5$

Correct Option is F.
