STEP 1

1. The equation $P = a + b + c$ is a simple arithmetic expression.
2. We are given the values $a = 12$, $b = 4$, and $c = 15$.
3. The task is to find the value of $P$ by substituting the given values into the equation.

STEP 2

1. Substitute the given values into the equation.
2. Perform the arithmetic operation to find $P$.
3. Verify the calculation.

STEP 3

Substitute the given values into the equation $P = a + b + c$:
$$P = 12 + 4 + 15$$

STEP 4

Perform the arithmetic operation by adding the numbers:
First, add $12$ and $4$:
$$12 + 4 = 16$$ Then, add the result to $15$:
$$16 + 15 = 31$$ So, $P = 31$.

Verify the calculation by ensuring each step was performed correctly:
Check the intermediate step:
$$12 + 4 = 16$$ Check the final addition:
$$16 + 15 = 31$$ The calculations are correct.
The solution is:
$$\boxed{31}$$
