It is

#p+12=37#

hence

#p=37-12#

#p=25#

#p=25#

Mathematically, "more than" tells you that you're going to be adding to a number.

#12# more than #p# translates into #p+12.# Furthermore, we're told that this quantity #p+12# is #37, or#

#p+12=37#

Solve for #p# by subtracting #12# from both sides:

#pcancel(+12-12)=37-12#

#p=25#

Answer 3 · 2018-04-18T23:13:29

#p = 25#

Let #p# = the number

#p + 12 = 37#

Additive Inverse:

#p + 12 = 37#
#p = 25#

There's your answer!
