Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (b) p = 5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following equation :

`(5)/(3p)+(2)/(3)=(5+p)/(2p).`

We will be solving the given equation for the value of the unknown variable p.

We have

`(5)/(3p)+(2)/(3)=(5+p)/(2p)\\\\\\\Rightarrow (5+2p)/(3p)=(5+p)/(2p)\\\\\\\Rightarrow (5+2p)/(3)=(5+p)/(2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2(5+2p)=3(5+p)\\\\\Rightarrow 10+4p=15+3p\\\\\Rightarrow 4p-3p=15-10\\\\\Rightarrow p=5.`

Thus, the required value of p is 5. And, so the solution of the given equation is p = 5.

Option (b) is CORRECT.
