Question

Solve. 7/8p-1/4=1/2p

Answer 1

if you mean
`(7)/(8p) - (1)/(4)=(1)/(2p)`
then multiply by p to give
`(7)/(8)-(p)/(4)=(1)/(2)`
then multiply by 8 to give
`7-2p=4`
subtract 7
`-2p=-3`
divide by -2
`p=(3)/(2)`

if you mean
`((7)/(8))p-(1)/(4)=((1)/(2))`
then multiply by 8 to give
`7p-2=4p`
subtract 4p
`3p-2=0`
add 2
`3p=2`
then divide by 3
`p=(2)/(3)`

hope that helps

Answer 2

`(7)/(8)p-(1)/(4)=(1)/(2)p \\\\ (7p)/(8)-(1)/(4)^((2)=(p)/(2)^((4) \\\\ 7p-2=4p\\\\7p-4p=2 \\\\3p=2\\\\ \boxed{p=(2)/(3)}`
