Question

Solve each proportion.
2/4=4/p-3
pls help​

Answer 1

`p=(8)/(7)`

Explanation:

`(2)/(4) = (4)/(p) - 3`

`(1)/(2) = (4)/(p) - 3` (simplify)

`(1)/(2)+3 = (4)/(p) - 3+3`

`(1)/(2)+3 = (4)/(p)` (Add 3 to both sides)

`(7)/(2)= (4)/(p)` (simplify)

`(7)/(2)p= (4)/(p)*p`

`(7p)/(2)=4` (Multiply both sides by p)

`(7p)/(2)*2=4*2`

`7p=8` (Multiply both sides by 2)

`(7p)/(7)=(8)/(7)`

`p=(8)/(7)` (Divide both sides by 7)
