Final answer:
To solve the linear equation 2/3P + 5 = 5, we subtract 5 from both sides, resulting in 2/3P = 0. Multiplying by the reciprocal of 2/3 on both sides, we find that P = 0. The correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the solution to a linear equation, which is ⅓P + 5 = 5. To find the value of P, we first want to isolate P on one side of the equation. We'll do this by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation: ⅓P + 5 - 5 = 5 - 5
Which simplifies to ⅓P = 0. Now, to solve for P, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of ⅓ (which is ×2/3), resulting in: P = 0 ××2/3
Therefore, P = 0, which makes option d) P = 0 the correct answer.
