Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
12p3−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
12p3=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
12p3=3
Divide both sides
1212p3=123
Divide the numbers
p3=123
Cancel out the common factor 3
p3=41
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3p3=341
