Question

if x is equals to p + 1 find the value of P from the equation 1 by 2 into 5 x minus 30 minus 1 by 3 into 1 + 7 is equal to 1 by 4​

Answer 1

Please enter the equation in standard format. The written expression is confusing to me.

The best I can interpret is x = 217/40 and p would be 257/40

Explanation:

x=p+1 is OK

But

1 by 2 into 5 x minus 30 minus 1 by 3 into 1 + 7 is equal to 1 by 4​

"1 by 2 into 5 x" Does this mean 5x/(1/2) ?

"minus 30 minus 1 by 3 into 1 + 7" Does this mean "-30-(1+7)/(1/3)" ?

"equal to 1 by 4​" Does this mean = 1/4 ?

If so, we have

5x/(1/2) -30-(1+7)/(1/3) = 1/4 ?

If so, 10x -54 = 1/4

x = 217/40

---

x=p+1

217/40 = p + 1

p = 217/40 + 40/40

p = 257/40
