Temperature scales problems

The answer is E

This does not make sense to me. Why is the answer E and not M=[(12p)/7]-7 ?

(M+6)/36 = P-7/21

(M+6)7/12=P-7

7M+42=12P-84

7M=12P-126

7M=12P-126

M=(12P/7)-18

Hence the answer is E

(M+6)/36 = (P-7)/21

M+6 = 36/21*(P-7)
M+6 = 12/7(P-7)
M+6 = 12/7P - 12
M= 12/7P-12-6
M = 12/7P-18

(M+6)/36 = P-7/21

M+6 = 36(P-7)/21

M+6 = 36P/21 - 36*7/21

M+6 = 12P/7 - 84/7

M+6 = 12P/7 - 12

M = 12P/7 - 12 - 6

M = 12P/7 -18

Hope this helps.
