Question

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

Answer 1

Three fourths of a number p less subtracted by 2 is 5 sixths of a number r plus 5

3/4 of p subtracted by 2 is 5/6 of a r plus 5

3/4 of p - 2 is 5/6 of r + 5


`(3)/(4) p-2= (5)/(6) r+5` <--- answer?


`(3)/(4) p= (5)/(6) r+7`


`(3p)/(4) = (5r)/(6) +7`


`(3p)/(4)* (6)/(5r) = 7`


`(18p)/(20r) = 7`


`(9p)/(10r) = 7`


`(p)/(r) = 7* (10)/(9)`


`(p)/(r) = (70)/(9)` <-- answer?

Hope this helps
