Explanation

To solve for the value of the digit \( p \), we can start by subtracting the number \( 23p26 \) from \( 3446 \) to get \( 2pp26 \).\[ 3446 - 23p26 = 2pp26 \]Let's perform the subtraction:\[ 3446 - 23p26 = 2pp26 \]\[ 2pp26 = 3446 - 23p26 \]Now, we can subtract the numbers:\[ 3446 - 23p26 = 2pp26 \]\[ 2pp26 = 3446 - 23p26 \]\[ 2pp26 = 12120 - 23p26 \]Now, we can solve for the value of \( p \).
